Close to Home by John McPherson for January 18, 2024

As you wish.

He’s been bugging them all evening.

There’s only two kinds of bugs. The tall ones and the flat ones

Wow! Great fly trap!

Hey! Is this a sting operation?

That fly even looks a little like Danny DeVito.

Wub I meanth wasth, gib me anubber cardth! …Yeeshth!

Funny

Bleeb looks a bit washed out. Maybe he had a tough night.

Casino time!

Call a S.W.A.T. team.

it bugs me when the dealer shows an ace

Get the SWAT team in

He thought he ordered a fly’s water.

They’re playing SmackJack?

Should use a blackjack instead of a flyswatter.

….and THAT he did!

Cleanup on the gambling table

The housefly always wins.

A Good deal – more than he bargained for!

He may call for a hit, but it looks like it’s going to be a fold.

He’s bluffing.

Make sure he’s paid his tab first.

I’d like another hand but I gotta fly.

Don’t hit my fly. You’ll ruin the zipper, plus it hurts.

“I’d like ice water.”

“I swatter comin’ up.”

Gregor Samsa finally gets out of the house.

Dealer, there’s a fly in my chips…

It’s worth a lot more alive than dead!
