Roger: Ah, Labor Day. Nothing to do but kick back in the ol' Hammock. Paige: Ah, Labor Day. Nothing to do but watch movies at the mall. Peter: Ah, Labor Day. Nothing to do but play video game after video game. Andy: Ironic that for the one person is this house who's actually gone through labor...

Is it just remotely possible, Andy, that you could procrastinate on that job for one day?

Whoa, she’s ironing while commenting on the irony? Isn’t it ironic, dontcha think?
cdward about 15 years ago
She could quit ironing, cooking, cleaning – whatever – and nobody would notice. If she wanted…
StrangeTikiGod, good one.

You know, I think this is a funny strip. But it would be a lot better if you could tell the characters apart.

So skip the ironing for once.

I’m doing the laundry as I speak (no ironing - all perma-press!) so that my dear hubby has clean clothes for work this week. At least he is doing some work around here, so I don’t feel quite the martyr that Andi does.

With 3 kids and 2 Adults in the house, no the cooking and cleaning and washing and ironing can’t be put off for one day. Besides she may have taken the day before off. I know how much I’m behind taking one day with just one kid and us parents.

That cloud behind Roger makes it look like he has a tuft of hair. Am I the only who hadn’t noticed?
Rakkav about 15 years ago
I’m not so sure, newworldmozart. Cooking I can understand, but nobody is so short of wardrobes in such a family (none I know of personally, anyway) that one day’s delay is going to kill them.

It’s okay to assign jobs…

Rakkav take it from me- we unpaid housebound domestic service people need to keep up a sprightly pace to keep things ticking over. A load of laundry is not necessarily just “a load of laundry” but more of a pre-emptive strike!

And she’s still going through labor this very day.

When my kids got old enough I taught them how to washclothes and dry. Did they have fabric softners back then? I use that now.

Comixavier, I thought that was his hand perched behind his head, as it looks like his right arm is extended upward alongside his head so the hand would be behind / on top of his head.
