Dad: "Look! I put on my summer shirt and found a pen and a pair of sunglasses in the pocket!"
Dad: "And in my shorts I found a quarter and a dollar bill!"
Mom: "Lucky you. I put on my summer clothes and found five pounds"
A long time ago, my wife bought a purse from a thrift store on two separate occaisions…—Each time, money! The first time was a 20 in the inside compartment, unchecked… on our anniversary…Second time, just random shopping, change was found… up to ten dollars’ worth.. “Dinner’s on me”…lol! Good times, good times…
I’m more concerned that the shirt hasn’t been washed in at least 8 months. Ew! Money can stay in shorts’ pockets through the wash but sunglasses and a pen in a shirt pocket? Doubtful.
If Frank is supposed to be wearing a “Hawaiian shirt”, it must have been from one of the islands that drifted off, or missed the meeting at the shirt factory, or they had to hurry up and finish making them before quitting time…
Nancy still looks pretty darn good to me. And despite the disparaging remarks, I think Frank’s shirt is not all that bad as a fun-in-the-sun bit of beach wear, though certainly not a going-downtown style….
“Even Canada’s dollar is worth more than US dollar.”^I remember that bit off of Saturday Night Live….. Joratio Sans, Seth Meyers, Maya Rudolph, etc. all were all dressed up as pesos, euros, even the Canadian “Loon” (with matching "dialects’ to suit the respective country/regional denomination… they all lined up to kick the US dollar ((Amy Poehler), and they all flashed back to when the dollar acted like “Bugsy Siegel” and “bullied” them around…. “the Adventures of the Down and Out Dollar”….
I don’t mean to invalidate your good point, but I think waycyber was just trying to play on the duality of the meanings of the word pound… the irony of the situation, even…
@IamJay, sounds like what my lover and I do – basically just the simple life and doing what comes naturally. I’m an artist and he’s a machinist (before he started his HVAC business) and can still make beautiful things. We admire each other’s work and have fun together anywhere.
The everlasting mystery to women; they gain 5 lbs and it takes 4 months and tons rabbit food to lose it and we males, with the assistance of a Newspaper or a Hunting Magazine can lose the whole thing with a trip to the Outhouse. Boggles even ME and I’m ‘of a scientific bent’…
I hate when people misunderstand my jokes. Not that they would be any funnier when people do understand them. “I’m just a soul whose intentions are good! Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood!”: my theme song.
His outfit looks very cool, as in being appropriate for hot weather. And I’m glad to see that he is smart enough not to fall for the propaganda of the ‘fashion’ industry, the heart of the absolutely worst part of Materialism.

Five pounds – that’s worth about $7.50.

It’s mostly that the clothes we bought somehow mysteriously shrink when we go to put them on at a future date and time….

Or maybe Nancy’s mirror just needs recalibration (She’s fine, the mirror’s just on the fritz)…..

When did Frank and Knute start sharing the same fashion designer. All he needs is the baseball cap, and he’d be Knute’s older brother.

Notice how the dad looks a little too much like Knute in the first panel? Hmmm…..

It’s the squinty eyes.

So, where’s Luann? Her parents are boring.
MadYank over 11 years ago

Sorry to hear that Nancy!
Happicat2012 over 11 years ago
I was thinking the same thing @mrsdonaldson. Don’t they wash their worn summer clothes before putting them away for the winter?
Ed Brault Premium Member over 11 years ago
My scale says that I’ve gained 5 lb, but my pants say my waist is 2" smaller!?
katina.cooper over 11 years ago
In the forth panel, he puts his arms around her with his lips nibbling her neck and says, “Where? I certainly don’t see them”.
vldazzle over 11 years ago
@Katina, You mean like this?

What a sweet comic.
Luanne’s parents boring? Not so. Just a comic of a simpler era. It is immensely enjoyable.
Thank you Greg Evans

Don’t worry, Nancy. We still love you.-(Some are even strongly lusting after you, but we don’t like to talk about them. They be strange.)
David Huie Green LoveJoyAndPeace over 11 years ago
“Even Canada’s dollar is worth more than US dollar.”-Does not matter. We can print all we want and nobody will care.

“Nancy still has the hourglass figure.”.Yep, the hourglass just has a bit more sand it it of late, the more the merrier.

She means she has gained weight, not the type of money used in England.
