Ah Jarvis, at times it pays to forgo the weekend jaunt to Aspen in favor of a modest toboggan run at the local park... Is that so, sir? Yes, quite! It provides one valuable reconnaissance on the 99% crowd... You may observe them in their natural... Fwap Who threw that? The youth in the turquoise hoodie... Well placed, lad! Perhaps you and your cohorts assume that because I am a child of privilege, I will not stoop to roughhouse with riff raff. But in that assumption you are sorely mistaken! Jarvis? Here, sir... Your riot helmet and shield... Very good, Jarvis! Fire at will... As you wish, sir. Come! Come! Jarvis! Your aim is horribly afield, man! Sorry, sir. And I injury sustained during their last volley has impaired my stereoscopic vision, I'm afraid...

Tut tut, Jarvis, my good man. If you have time to give excuses, you have time to make double the snow balls than now. Or, you could just ring up the groundskeeper as reinforcements.

Bring up the reinforcements. Where’s Herberto when you need him?

How about some pepper spray snowballs?

Jarvis, you could defect, you know! Hoi polloi would welcome you to their side! Let Sedgie fight his own battle, and learn a life lesson or two!

How did he know Will was in the group?

Do you think Jarvis is paid enough?

I love the comfy chair bolted to the toboggan :)

Jarvis looks as if he was a pitcher back in the day. Good motion and follow through.

It appears that they are badly out-numbered. If Sedgie wants Jarvis to win on his behalf, he should at least have safety goggles.

The throne on the taboggon IS a nice touch. I’m surprised he doesn’t have a machine to make snowballs. . . and throw? naw!

Is anyone else not a big fan of this subplot? I get that it’s a commentary on the out of touch, super rich, but it’s more corny than it is funny.

Oh, the time Jum Meddick devotes to finding the perfect wording. He must have some kind of Victorian thesaurus or phrase maker. “valuable reconnaissance” … “horribly afield” … just make Sedgewick’s voice come alive. The little twerp.

Yes, I hope Jarvis earns a real good salary. He must if he does Sedgie’s snowball fights for him.

These two should seriously have their own comic.

Yes, always good to keep a riot helmet and shield handy. you never know when you’ll need to give those bolsheviks in the ALPA a shove along

Gotta love the bottom left panel. Jarvis is the Man!

If Sedgie didn’t waste so much time talking, Jarvis would have been far more prepared for that first volley.

Am I the only person who read this strip with Mr. Burns’ voice for Sedgewick?
