She Should Just Move In!!

An elderly woman is greeting a group of people. "Rent is payable in advance and you have full kitchen privileges. I sincerely hope you and your orchestra will enjoy your sojourn with us." The "orchestra" she is addressing is a shifty looking man in a pinstripe suit, another man with two guitar cases, a woman in a boa and leggings smoking a cigarette in a holder, a large burley man also holding two guitar cases, and another shifty man in black suspiciously looking out the window.
February 4, 1966
I don't judge based on appearances. Maybe they are an orchestra. With four guitars. And no other instruments.

This comic actually seems like it would be a TV show back in the 1960s. Maybe on opposite My Mother, the Car. And like My Mother, the Car it would be canceled after one season.

What is Mother Gargle wearing? Is that a nightshirt? Is Mother Gargle the charwoman or laundress who stole Ebenezer Scrooge's clothes after he died? Tell Bob Cratchit I say "hi".
