“Yes dear. And what have you heard about the job market for Swagmen?”

Think hard lad, what special event have you forgotten?!

I don’t understand all I know about this strip today.

It doesn’t really go with the tie?

I guess I’m one of the lucky ones, because I signed up long ago and have still been paying the original rate of $14.99. So if it went up to $19.99, no big deal. I mean, a 30% increase is a lot, but I’m supposedly getting a “break” now.

I assume that, like me, other paid subscribers got the message that our rate will be jacked to $34.99, for magnificent “new” features, that are basically the same as what we have now. Most of which I don’t want or need. That’s a 75% price hike for most subscribers; more than double for folks in my group.

Questions:

1.You OK with this?

2.You willing to send an email to Andrew’s McMeel’s CEO at kmelville@ and let her know?

3.How long until this post gets deleted?

Hurry, you’ll miss your train, I mean the boxcar.

Hey, she could be right. Give it a few months…
