Transcript:
Rick: I don't believe it... Jeff: Yup - moving day... time to move to my stately home! But don't worry, Dad, I'll still be there for you... I can see how challenging new is for you, so I'm happy to step up as your mentor. It's no biggie. Rick: Excuse me? Jeff: Come, Dad. Pack with me, talk with me...

Rick, the boy is reaching out to you.

Well, Rick, shoot the breeze with him a while; maybe youâll get an idea for some lucrative war porn (you can put it out under a pseudonym, but the checks will still cash!)

Looking back, (waaay back) I see more of Jeff in me, than I see of Jeff in my own son. Which clearly means I did a better job of raising my boy than my father did of raising his. If only my dad had listened to my advice, I might be a better man.

Heâs been given a stately home. Wonder whatâs in store for him next â Drew?

Rick should leverage his blog at Huff to interview Jeff about his book.

I can just imagine the thoughts going through Dadâs head in the last panel.

âYouâll always have a place in my house. As my manservant, my chauffeur, you name it. Nothingâs too good for my dad!â

Actually, you have to give Jeff credit . . . technically, heâs a âself-madeâ millionaire. Better than these trust-fund inheritors, ranting on about âequal opportunityâ.

Jeff is such a douche.

Iâm thinking that Jeff might actually have something useful to say to Rick. Letâs face it, the one edge that Redfern fils unquestionably has over Redfern père is in the arena of New Media. Jeff turned his (unpaid) blogging into a lucrative book deal, after all. Rick may not like it, but if heâs smart heâll pay attention.

Jeff needs to learn more about MANNERS, not MANORS.

@Robin Westgate>> This is a quote from Mark Twain, isnât it?
Not intentionally, but it wouldnât be the first time I was an accidental plagiarist.
I remember this one attributed to M.T.:âWhen I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.â
Which I cut off a box of tea and sent to my father when I was 21.

Sometimes itâs easier than others to let them go.

Okay, letâs all take bets on Jeffâs outcome here. Iâm betting that itâs going to be either:(1) This whole thingâbook deal, mansionâhas been another of Jeffâs fantasies, like the whole Red Rascal nonsense. Jeff is still pipe dreaming down in the cellar; or(2) The book deal based on his RR fantasy is real, but Jeff has done nothing to investigate what that mansion is going to cost him each month and heâll get an eviction notice and be back in Rick and Joanieâs cellar in about 30 days.

Jeff should never have been bornâ-as he himself reflected on the occasion (1982? I donât have time to look up the strip).
