Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for May 16, 2023

Tony asked

What did you lose?

Don’t remind me.

This kid will lose his head someday. Oh right it’s screwed on.

I left mine outside at recess in ’54, but never got it back.

Make him pay for the replacement. It’ll teach him to be more careful.

The new family circus, where are the dotted line?

Indeed you did!

I’m picturing one of those trails Bil Keane drew for Family Circus

My mind after an improvement project that was supposed to take three days took SEVEN!!!

Normally you can’t more than two words out of him.

Now were going to a teaching session, think about protecting your property better while you’re shivering.

That happened to me. Had to go for two years without a replacement.

When picking up trash off the grocery store’s parking lot at opening time, there are times I come across jackets, hoodies, or shirts and take them to the customer service desk for lost and found. But if they’re soiled with, well, soil or rain water, I would take them home to launder them and try to remember to bring them to the store still for L&F or take them to The Goodwill which is the nearest thrift store in my neighborhood (it’s on the same complex as a “rival” grocery store).
