The Boondocks by Aaron McGruder for August 13, 2021

Granddad’s right in this case because those telemarketers are royal PITA! That’s why I have called ID and a POTENTIAL SPAM notifier. I once decided to trace where a spam call was coming from because kept on calling. I then sent a text to the number and told them if they called one time, it was going to a wrap! They texted me back asking why I said what I said. And I told because a call came from that number. I haven’t had a spam call in about to weeks.

They make a living by harassing people.

Telemarketing is a thankless job. Absolutely nobody thanks you!

I usually say, “Chucky Cheese where a kid can be a kid” or “City Morgue. Where’s the body”?
