Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for November 19, 2009

that’s so true! Mom, a gifted sewer, had one pair for her to use and one pair for her kids to borrow.

What a doofus!

@ somebodyshort I’m a bit psycho about my scissors too.

It’s not quite fair. I sharpen her scissors to perfection, yet I can’t use them.

I laughed so much at Adam’s reaction that I forgot to read the comic!

I’m frightened now. Yesterday my wife bought one of those plastic sheeting kits. Only she’s the one who said, “You won’t need any help - it’s a piece of cake.” Think I’ll make sure I’ve got some scissors on hand.

Woulda been funnier if Adam was in a ‘Han in Carbonite’ pose. >_>

So am I. I cut my own hair and I need good scissors for that.

I like Clayton’s remark “stuck in the window AGAIN” like it’s not the first time. HA!

Clayton, this is your future… Enjoy it!

The dad seems to be a neanderthal !

I never realized that I had anything in common with Adam.

You’re right, JAD, the comic would have been much improved if Adam were shown outside the film, with Clayton complimenting his father on a job well done.

We all could have had a warm and wholesome chuckle, and maybe picked up some useful pointers, as well!

Adam’s just trying to stay fresh through the winter.

Doc: I think Fritzoid’s tongue was planted firmly in his/her cheek.

information: I think Doc’s was, too. :-)

“I’ve clipped nearly 300,000 newspaper comics for my archive, I’m a bit picky about my scissors too.”

And maybe a bit obsessive about your comic collection, Doc. ;^)

Hey Doc, maybe we can start a campaign to have GoComics add “Hints from Heloise” to their roster. Nothing entertains your average comics fan more than sound, practical advice.

I’d imagine the fan response would eclipse “Pibgorn”, “Overboard”, and “State of the Union” combined!

@ vawser:

I would be careful kidding Doc about his comic collection! He has a spare set of scissors to deal with people who say things like that.

:-D

I thought that the last panel was a neat portrait of Adam hung outside.

This ranked high on my humor scale.

I would also like to say “Thanks” to JAD for pointing out the problems with the cartoon - boy, is that cartoonist silly. Thanks again, JAD, your input is always SO helpful…

@fritzoid – aaa. Good. sorry.
