Captain Yolanda Ruiz isn’t happy?

I was in the urgent care yesterday it was filled with elder folk looking for covid testing my test came back negative .

Social distancing is back on the table as is wearing your mask protect yourselves and others people.

don’t even joke about that. i had 2 years of hell. living in my own head working from home.

Not funny.

I’ve always been a fan of social distancing, at least among strangers..

Covid is on the rise. Take precautions. Wear masks. Get vaccinated. Be careful and maybe it will simply be the anti-vaxxers who suffer… (No it won’t know an anti-vaxxer who passed it on to both his parents – who died as a result.)

That or get a bigger squad room…

We are not going through that again.

It appears government control is way to acceptable to many people.

LOL. But… no. Seriously, NO.

NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even when we were still doing “Social distancing” I had people come up to the counter to make their order before I had time to step away. Mere common courtesy would be a nice thing to turn to. (note, I did not say “return to” because I have never actually seen it be common so I cannot be sure it ever existed.)

don’t you think the office is too small for that. :\

I agree.

I never wanted to be within 6 feet of any of you & expect you return the sentiment.

Does anyone just take time to look at the drawing? So much detail, so much going on, and all I did was read the caption and move on to my next comic….then I backed up. There is a lot going on you can miss, and so much work the artist out into this strip we can miss if we just scroll through for the joke.

I just think we should all quarantine every Wednesday for mental health reasons

*How do you like Morgan City, David?"

“I don’t like it; there’s too many people.”

“You don’t like crowds?”

“No. I don’t like people.”

(Actually I do like people. I was just joking. Mostly I was making fun of the fact that many of them kept talking about how small the place was compared to where they grew up, whereas I came from a very small place — population wise.)

Don’t take it too serious. Crunchy just hates people.

Really an incredible strip today.

I’m a self proclaimed misanthrope, and couldn’t agree more.

(Unfortunately, I tend to be nice to people, and nobody believes me.)

Robb is channeling Richard Scarry today. Haven’t found Lowly Worm yet, though.

That’s one good thing about driving a tractor-trailer…95% of the time you’re alone.

This is exactly why we are going down the rabbit hole again…the bars and restaurants are jammed packed around my town.

I felt like I could breathe during the enforced social distancing. People still give room and say thank you to each other, at least in my neighborhood, giving the other person room to pass on the sidewalk, compliment manners, etc. It’s all about how you are able to put the situation into perspective and make the best of it. Since life is full of trails and adversity we can be the best versions of who we can be or complain and make life difficult for each other. I am a safe sheep.

I really dont want this back. I dont like people, but I prefer people over lockdowns.

I do so love the precinct shots. So exquisitely detailed.
