Bridge Club Smackdown!

… and y’all thought that never happens! ㋡

I’ve heard of Cutthroat Bridge players , Though it was a myth ! WOW

Someone had cards up their sleeve!

The Draculas were here and we played for high stakes.

Who’s the dummy now?

Bleeb! Buddy!! Way to start the work week, little alien dude!!

Mr McP, I love today’s strip! Brilliant work!! Way to start the work week!!!

Everything was going well until Helen misplayed a card and blew an opportunity for a slam in spades. Her partner, Gertrude, killed her!

A bit too much, maybe?

Ummm, quite the euphemism there, eh?

We were cutting out life size paper dolls on the floor and damaged the rug

A Nor’easter

Must have been a knock down dragout!!!

Jaysus, Bleeb, quit looking up her dress!

Definitely a Bridge over troubled water! :)

Another massive bridge collapse.

It turned into a whodunit.

I love this gag!

Are you sure you weren’t playing Clue?

Looks like she doubled the contract.

I called 3 clubs! What were you thinking????

murder mystery bridge, that should make it more exciting

Quite possibly to die for

with emphasis on the word “club”…

Just so you know, the whole chalk outline thing stopped being done when instant photography was perfected.
