    You know Corky’s been gone from the diner too long by the branded hamburger sacks – Baleen must have cut her own deal to run a “Drippy Gooey Burger” franchise right under her boss’ nose!

    Call in the forensic accountants!!

    - – - -

    It’s a full four-part classics update for the 8th:

    Skeezix works by the classic business principle of “Always Be Conniving”. By hook or by crook, he will get enough postmarks where the Sun shall never set on his empire!

    Just because Clarion McCall can go after Jessie Bell with “inky by the gallon”, it doesn’t mean he needs to pour the entire bucket into his first edition.

    I guess we’re gonna get the whole account of the Tobacco Wars after all. Happy Hangover has the airways cornered in the escalating ad battle… or does he?

    Rufus… finishes up early, only he can’t punch out lest he get docked for 7 hours, 52 minutes. Maybe we can find out what he brought for lunch?

    Also, too: The chances of Baleen actually being able to the math in her head that fast are just a bit less than the White Sox’ chances of making the playoffs this season.

    I had some fine “anesthesia” last night, from Excelleaf dispensary in Illinois. Very nice foggy brain.

    Insufficient funds should keep that check docked.

    Did this strip enter a time warop or something? Somebody wrote a check in a restaurant? And, golly, it’s about five times the size of a normal check. And you really get three decent burgers for $20.80? I checked out thee decent places close to home – Americano, Red Mill, and Lil Woody – and this would set you back $30 – $40.

    So if Slim really meant to write the check for $20.80, the actual cost of the burgs, doesn’t that mean that the tip he meant to give him was zero?

    Speaking of “surgery”,where’s the OTHER waitress? The one who took a leave of absence for heart surgery.

    I liked her a lot better
