Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for May 20, 2019

Next time, Dad, don’t tell son your problems that involve Mom.

Tony asked, about 6 hours ago

Favorite garment?

In warm/hot summer: As little as possible.

Else: Enough that I’m not cold. Onion-style mostly.

Well, OK…. not many here so I figured I’d better go get Tony’s question…

Nothing to do with ways to get back at Elliot, or keeping secrets to yourself, or even undoing laundry damage.

No…. Tony asks….

“Favorite garment?”

And gosh…. I was a vintage clothing dealer…

I’ve had beautiful garments come and go over the years…

some felt too collectible to even wear….

and most are long gone.

I sold a lot of them….

1938 was a great year for fashion… peplums, tiny shoulder pads, fitted sleeves…

I remember one beautifully cut cranberry wool bouclé coat, ca 1938, with a furry collar (hey, the times were different) that was such a favorite I wore it till it was threadbare and shredding.

Nowadays… older. somewhat larger…

my current favorite is probably the Lanz of Salzburg flannel nightgown I got for a present last year.

I’d always wanted one, but they’re too expensive.

I’m sad when I have to take it off and get dressed before I go anywhere.

Revenge for the band-aid advice…

Anything thats comfortable!!!

At least he is helping out with the laundry. He should get bonus points for doing so, unless he ruined the shirt intentionally in hopes of not doing the laundry.

I like wearing nothing but a smile!

My favorite garment is part of my wife’s wardrobe. ;-)

The direct approach works.

I don’t play favorites with garments.

See, that wasn’t so hard now was it.

My dragon Tshirt my son got me.
