I may be one of the few people on earth who has actually seen a sock disappear from a dryer. Door interlock on the laundromat machine not working so it didn’t stop when I opened it. Decided I could pull out the filter, sweep out the filter and return it and reclose the door with it running..Didn’t reckon with the suction that pulls the lint into that slot. With the filter out, a light blue argyle went right down and was consumed in the heating unit.
That was one tough and rowdy rogue sock. But the Law got him and fried him. Pig’s anguished concern is pointless now—how many other socks do you know that drink too much beer and insult other guy’s gals? Really.
well, it is better than what happens on the show extreme cheapskates. one female extreme cheapskate uses missing socks at the laundromat as feminine hygiene. she says she saves $$$ a year.
No, this is wrong. To correctly understand what happens to socks, you need to understand the Quantum Theory of Laundry:http://www.laundry-alternative.com/fate-of-missing-socks/
I’ve even bought multiple pairs of the same sock, same colors for something to put on poor tired feet and they still hop away to the local bars and get into fights.

On the plus side, that sock must be warm and toasty now.

WHY do they let Stephan storyboard his own ideas!

For all we know, this just may be non-fiction.

OMG. Totally thought Stephan was setting up another gruesome pun. That was actually almost funny.

If the sock took his conviction to a higher court, would the headline be “SOCK’S APPEAL”?!?

I still think that under appropriate conditions socks beam from dryers to attics while being transmuted into wire coat hangers.

To sum it up: The sock drank ‘sockie’, ‘socked’ the guy, and then was placed in a ‘socket.’

I covered up the last panel and spent 4 minutes trying to guess the sock pun.

My mother bought most, if not all, of the episodes of Laugh In on DVD.
And I inherited them.
