Holiday Quickie

Ugh. I was hoping I wouldn't have to talk about Memorial Day.

And I guess I don't.

Odd Broom Placement

It's cute that Gladys believes Brutus' carpal tunnel is caused by working too hard. Whenever we see Brutus at work he's either at his desk writing, talking with Veeblefester, or lazing about at the watercooler. I've never seen Brutus with a computer at work.

If you would like to support my writing or research, you can buy me a cup of coffee over on Ko-fi.

Brutus Would Die Out There

Have you ever seen your father go outside other than to mow the lawn?

Officer's a Little Close Isn't He?

For some reason yesterday, pictures wouldn't upload onto here. I don't know what the problem was as I tried about every 30 minutes for about four hours and it would never upload. Whatever. I just posted my commentary on my Twitter. Sadly, you will also get commentary on it today.

Meanwhile, June is just off-panel crying because May, July, and August get love from these two.

I'm hoping Wilberforce falls into an open storm drain after making that May-niac comment. Or that Hattie pushed him into oncoming traffic.

I'd order her out of her car, stick a breathalyzer in her mouth, and then make her answer a bunch of questions about driving before hauling her in for reckless driving. Maybe hundreds of dollars in fines and up to a year in jail will keep Gladys from being stupid.

What Expression? That's Her Face!

*shudders*

I don't think things would be more pleasant. Brutus still hates Mother Gargle whether or not she smiles so...

Should've Just Opened an App

The virtual assistant has a point. Is Brutus trapped in a cave or a very big box?

I've always had a problem with the way Chip draws how these people hold these new-fangled smart phones--are you listening through your nose?--but this makes it even weirder considering Brutus is using Siri and you don't need to hold your phone up to your ear/nose to talk to Siri.

Quit Shouting Up the Stairs

If Wilberforce goes to the Cleveland Metropolitan School District then his last day is Wednesday. You can do it, Wilberforce! Three more days! It's better than us. We're doing this crap until June 4th.

Florida Man Calls Friend In Ohio

It'd be the Marco Island Polo Club or the San Marco Polo Club, you ignorant woman. *shakes fist vigorously* I wonder how long Chip's been chuckling over this little doozy.

Has anyone else noticed that all of Brutus' friends move away? He only talks to them over the phone and none of them ever live locally. I'm starting to think that it is Brutus' fault.

Twist and Shout

In July 1518, a woman in Stasbourg, France began dancing fervently in the streets. Soon, somewhere between 50 and 400 joined her in dance and it's not known why. Some reports mention numerous deaths at the hands of this "plague" while others mention no deaths at all. Originally, these "dancing plagues" were considered to be caused by curses or some kind of possession. Modern theories posit food poisoning, spider bites, or stress-induced mass hysteria.

I'm gonna go with spider bite here.

Math Homework Is the Worst

Based on the schools that I know of, homework has basically become a thing of the past. Most teachers give you time to work on the assignment in class and if you don't get it done then it could become homework. Usually kids don't get it done because they goof off.
