Today’s strip is a fantasy. Drug-induced or not, I don’t know, but fantasy it is. Does anybody really believe that if either Burl or Joy found a coin, even a “penny” in the couch they wouldn’t just slip it into their pocket without missing a step?I’ll bet that both of them frequently find loose change in the purses of their female guests. I wouldn’t put it past Burl to siphon gas from the unwary.
Well… it was only a nickel, after all.For five cents they can show how honest and loyal they are to their friends…posture and preen and get more than 5¢ worth of credit…5¢ for a buck fifty-three worth of glow.Now had it been a $20 bill… no way would that sucker have seen the light of day…not for any longer than the two seconds of travel between the couch cushion and Burl’s pocket.
In fact, I doubt even Joy would ever hear about it.But he might feel secretly guilty…just enough to spring for the Big Lots $2.99 imitation Obsession (which smells like an old tobacco tin) for Christmas, instead of the Dollar General version (which smells like dirty socks.)
Joy for goodness sake: RINSE OUT THAT BLOUSE! I wonder how many envelopes of change they have, or how long they keep them before deciding no one is claiming them. I’m guessing 1 hour?
Totally a fantasy or dream; I agree with that, tho Susan DOES have a point. At least they can give the APPEARANCE of honesty for such a trifling ammount – - NO! It’s fantasy!

No, this is reality. Burl “sofa dives” after guests leave. He’s actually gloating about. Typical Burl. He is the sofa king cheapskate of Crustwood.
