Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Sam IS on the job today and wont take no for an answer. Bossy looks cooperative but doesn’t so far, have an inkling or even a suspicion that he has a snake in his garden. Horey’s got an overdue pile of work piling up. Wish I had a build like Carlos keeps putting on these guys.
“Oh yeah, and last week he told his wife to tell his nephews to come in and strip everything he ever touched out of his office. And he wife said she had no idea where he was or when he’d be back… I thought at the time it was a little curious that she didn’t ask where he was or when she’d see him in the phone call.”
“And you don’t find either of those two facts strange?”
“Well, he and his wife don’t get along, so if he’s playing around he wouldn’t want her to know. And I figure he’s planning to re-decorate his office when he gets back so he wanted everything out.”
(Tomorrow: Look for Sam to find the one business card, for a dentist, dropped by idiot nephews. Will it be a deliberate plant to point Tracy to a crooked dentist? Will it be another reminder this gang is totally inept? Will it remind Sam he needs to make an appointment with his dentist?)
And when did Claire supposedly get the call from Horace telling her to send in the nephews to strip the office? The boss made the call to Claire after the body had been found. If she was supposed to have spoken with him recently it proves the body isn’t his. And if she’d gotten the call the day after he “left” on his vacation why wait weeks to send in the nephews? And it reeks of suspicious behavior to send them in to strip the office.
Better Horace had spent a couple days before he left wiping every surface he could think of clean… Which, of course would also be suspicious when they went to compare his prints with those of the corpse. Horace isn’t any brighter, apparently, than the nephews.
Would still love some brilliant plot twist where all of this makes perfect sense, but I’m not holding my breath while waiting.
So is our dead double the product of surgeries far more extensive than dental, or just an improbably convenient Horace lookalike? Or even his down-and-out veteran twin brother?
SAM" Okay. Thanks. Tracy’s obviously chasing pixies again. Some days it’s all I can do to keep him focused. Me being the rel hero of the strip and all!"
I just got an e-mail from GoComics . Premium membership is going up to $ 35 bucks and they will have an “ improved “ commenting platform . Does that mean more censorship ?
1- BIG BOSSMAN: I don’t know an “Erin Aaron” and besides – I never knew the police investigated claims of “job-site sexual harassment”.
2- SAM: What are you talking about??? I haven’t said a word yet! Anyway, would you date this dreamboat if …wait. I meant, do you know this dreamboat…errr, man?
3- BIG BOSSMAN: Yes to both. That’s Hor Ace Piltdown. Why’s he sleeping in this photo. SAM: He’s dead. BIG BOSSMAN: Oh. Then I wouldn’t date him. picks up phone
Hello Erin – stop paying Hor Ace Piltdown! He’s dead. ….Yes – I know I have several “ghost employees” whose paychecks are deposited to my account….No – I don’t want Piltdown to be another one! glances at Sam THAT would be wrong! …What? Errr no. I left my office unlocked. Someone must’ve came in while I was in the terlit and called you from my phone… Really? I’m glad you liked the flowers… oh. Gotta go. Talk soon…

Good morning™, all!
This guy (do we know who he is?) thinks that Horace is just on a business trip. I don’t think Horace is ever coming back.

Insurance companies don’t pay off on suicides, so I hope they remembered to make the death look “natural”
