This strip has a lot more to say than even what has been expressed here in the comments, sure all the jokes about getting a boat is second best to getting rid of it, etc. etc. – yes it’s something that Gene worked hard on, it’s something that Arlo is so happy to finally have, but there is also a subconscious bond being made between families – in a way that only the patriarch’s of each family can do, expressed in that handshake. Well done.
This is one of the best!
