Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 21, 2012
Transcript:
Man: Listen, pal, I know you got some problems with your dad, but sometimes that's how it is with sons and fathers. Andy: But I want to be close. Man: Yeah, well maybe that can't happen. Maybe you're as different as two guys can be. But it doesn't mean there's not love there. And you should tell him that before one day you can't. Andy: You're right. I gotta march in there and say it. Andy's dad: Not during 'Wheel of Fortune,' you don't!! Man: Good luck. Andy: Mind if I say it to your father?

Well, some people aren’t all that verbal. My Dad expressed himself far better when he wasn’t trying to say anything than when he was.

I feel so sorry for poor Andy here.
I KNOW it’s only a comic strip…
But still… It can happen.

My dad was kind of like that, but not THAT bad. That’s why I made a promise to myself when my kids were born, that they will never have to ask themselves if their dad loved them. They will have always known it.

@AndyMaybe if you’d just watch the game with your dad, you’d bond quicker. Join him in what he likes to do.

I wanted to be a contestant, but I was excluded when I said I wanted to give VANNA a spin, the heck with the wheel!

Seems like there’s nothing wrong with his hearing, this brings to mind Fred G. Sanford staying in the hospital ‘cause there’s a COLOR tv, and all he’s got is black & white at home.

Heheh. I understand, Andy. My Mom and Dad (both now departed) used to love WoF, too. When it came on (at 6:30 PM local) we’d all be sitting around the dinner table and watching the kitchen TV. But talking was allowed….

Tomorrow, everyone who believed all that “Mayan apocalypse” crap will be running to the mall to do their last-minute Christmas shopping.

I hope this storyline is over before Christmas- too sad for me! I’ve got enough going on here to be getting all sad over a comic. O_o
