ah alas … Benjamin won’t be around for few thousand years from now

What a stretch of the imagination! Where’d he get a hammer & saw?

Come to think of it, the wooden planks.

And the window glass…

And the door knob.

and….oh, never mind.

It’s for the better, he could never afford the property taxes.

Latest traditions?

“See? No leaks.”

No building standards either. Vertical siding on one side and horizontal siding on the other? ;-)

Now he has to invent insurance.

Darn it! I was going to sell it to one of those 3 pigs.

What’s the matter? Never heard of a house warming party???

LOL!

Mother Nature sometimes plays pranks on civilization. That’s why there were stone castles.

Certainly hope he had Zot insurance on his home.

That zot came from the neighbouring sister strip. “Wizard of Id”

Next, he’ll invent the lightning rod.

Well, at least he tried. The idea will catch on, eventually.

“The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.”

The next thing he invented was the Home Owner’s Association.

Wow! The first tiny house

I’ll huff and puff and burn your house down.

Looks more like a shed to me.

The neighborhood has really gone downhill

Sometimes Mother nature dampens progress……

All he needed is ink

Just be entertained.

Well, one less outhouse … should have used bricks.

The problem is the wooden lightning rod. :)

Latest traditions?

“BC” is one of the few zombie comics that is actually entertaining. (“The Wizard of Id” is another example.) Most of the ones I read are pretty much for the nostalgia, with occasional humor. Nobody beats the original creators, of course.

My parents built a house out on 24 acres. House sat at the top of a hill. Every time it stormed, my elkhound would move away from the house and sit near the tree line watching the house. Always wondered what he knew that we didn’t.

And I thought he had his picture hanging problem solved.

to be fair, it’s nice an’ warm!

As the house keeps burning gather some of the smaller wood and bring them in the cave then when the fire is small enough bring it in the cave and be warm if the thunderstorm does not let up.

Take it easy with the pop ups if you want to keep this paying customer.

See that coat rack-like thing over by the computer? It is where you are invited to suspend your disbelief and just enjoy the whimsy of the strip ;o)

Different problems. New problems tend to look worse than familiar problems.

Home sweet…ah, who am I kidding?

When we were kids, anytime we’d see someone with a flat tire we’d yell “get a horse.”

Burning Down the House – Talking Heads

I have seen some of those caves with a moveable stone door. Really, the only improvement would be the window.
