Should've Flipped the Table When He Had a Chance

I'm guessing they are playing Scrabble. I don't know why the letters seem so big or why Brutus has a tray of letters but not Gladys. The phrasing also seems off. "This letter does it--I win!" She's putting down an N so is she adding it to DRAW to make DRAWN thus stealing precious points or has she somehow convinced Brutus that you play Scrabble like Uno and the object of the game is to get rid of all your letters?

Shoutout to Chip for spelling LOSER with Brutus' tiles.

Anti-Brutus Day

He's a cheapskate because Brutus has no money. I don't see how hard that is to understand. I do object to going to Itchy Eddie's Pizzeria. Why is Eddie itchy? He doesn't make the pizzas does he? I would expect pizza to be cheap there.

He's Very Good At It

Why does Brutus seem so vindictive? "Oh, you want money for staying home all day, cooking, cleaning, and being the main caregiver for our child, huh? Well, I want compensation for when I mow the lawn and...change light bulbs...and...uh, all the other things I do around here!"

I always figured the salary for a housewife/stay-at-home mom should be spending money on herself and the family with impunity but Brutus complains about that so a tip jar is the next logical step.

Tooth Trouble

It's probably some sort of gum infection. Maybe a sesame seed stuck underneath them. Maybe Brutus goes in every night and punches Mother Gargle in the jaw while she sleeps.

At least no one is participating in No Pants Day. Although Gladys and Mother Gargle are wearing robes...

It's Gonna Be May

Enjoy it while you can. Someday soon it's going to be 100 degrees for ten days straight. Everything will be hazy, tires will melt as you drive down the road, and not even the local swimming pool will help.

All In Moderation

I can't believe Brutus is talking to Uncle Ted about moderation. The guy is in his maybe 70s possibly and he doesn't need your judgement.

I also can't believe that Uncle Ted is eating bacon with a fork? Maybe we caught him after eating some eggs.

Corpulent

Portly tends to also mean short (and fat). Instead of using short, fat, portly, just call Brutus "Morey Amsterdam", it's basically the same thing and less offensive.

Good Work If You Can Get It

I was originally was going to pop off about Brutus seemingly having a high-skill job but then I remembered that safety inspectors of the DMV are not high-skill. I've had one or two cars inspected and it was not so much an inspection than someone making sure the tires don't fall off, the exhaust isn't clogged, and the doors open.

Father/Dog Quality Time

Well, doing that is good too. Brutus is still outside getting a little bit of exercise and so is Kewpie. But I guess if you want your husband and dog to die years before their time then so be it.

I can't picture Kewpie catching a fastball but anything can happen off-panel, I guess.

Only 500 Pieces?

Is that supposed to be a video game controller Wilberforce is holding? It's like Chip started drawing a joystick, like for the Atari 2600, then remembered that controllers don't look like that anymore and just had Wilberforce tapping buttons on top while still holding the controller from the bottom. At least the thing is wireless.
