One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for March 20, 2014

Travelling downtown, this has proven effective there, as well….

Serves him right.

Shows how sharp the older generation can be!

Why can’t we enlarge this comic? What happened?

I’ve found that sometimes it happens the same way in the Sunday paper, where the artist doesn’t use a “title panel”… when that’s the case, it would look this way as you see here… Rick probably had this strip the same way in the Sunday paper, unaltered…

Good of grandma caught on fast.

Meanwhile, in today’s strip at creators.com, Ruthie continues her quest for supernatural help, while her pooch continues his own quest…

Good one! I was panhandled while pumping gas. As the spiel went on, I aimed the nozzle at ’im and asked how much he wanted

Rose is one smart cookie!

In “Horsefeathers” a panhandler asks Harpo for money to buy a cup of coffee – the presumption being that he’ll use it for bohot otleg booze; Harpo pulls a hot cup of coffee out of his coat.

For a while I saw many of these scams going on in parking lots. I never gave them money unless they actually did some work. I had one young couple come to my house to do some weeding (and they DID, but they kept giving me more sob stories and doing ever less work and promising to come back and finish the next day, etc.) I’m glad that Rose did not have as much hassel.

Way to go rose! You should have taken his six bucks and slammed the door!
