It’s a win-win. They don’t have to worry about Luddie getting on the balcony and they do like the hot tub (Wink wink nudge nudge! Know what I mean? Know what I mean?).
Guess the folks lack the wisdom to decide what to do with their own lives, so the most loving thing we can do is force our opinion upon them through guile and manipulation. Classic doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.
It’s a shame Meg isn’t around to get a quality education on tricking the one’s we “love” to do what WE want them to do. How else will she learn how to treat Gene and Mary Lou when they are older? Talk about your family traditions!
You are doing great, JJ!!! Everybody thinks they could be better at what they do, but, you are doing very well. You hit a few nerves, because Arlo & Janis go thru things all of us sometimes go thru, which makes us simultaneously twitchy & relieved that “we’re not alone in this”. Keep up the good work.
They better do it while they can because if Janice gets chickens and a couple of dogs, they’re never going any place. Don’t worry, Arlo will love her anyway, that’s what we do.
Reminds me of my Dad, his idea was to bring my wife and sons, and their family into a Bonanza House. When his time was running out, I stayed with him to the end.

True, a condo on the beach isn’t the same as a house in town without the waterfront attraction.

I’m hating myself for this, but when I saw the second panel before reading today’s story, I thought it was a spaceship….now I can’t un-see that!

Of course, they’d be experiencing a life that her Pop doesn’t like.

I’m not sure why they couldn’t do the same thing at the condo. But that wouldn’t serve Gus’ purpose.

JJ, my wife and I passed 75. Your strip has so many “that’s us” installments than any other strip we read. Keep em coming.

It’s not on the beach. Ultimately, that’s a good thing (lower taxes and insurance, less hurricane threat), but … it’s not on the beach.

“The cat”?? She doesn’t now Luddie’s name by now? Considering he seems to be immortal, she should remember a cat that is as old as her husband.
