(Greg’s exhibit:) An “upside down question mark in English …does this mean that it’s a _”rehtorical"_ quesiton? – I guess Jock’s idea would have him put in stocks and bonds …. – The one drawback with “reversible shoes” would be that you could never have “stinky feet” if you wanted to “switch them up”….

So, out of the mouths of babes will come the next part of this arc. How refreshing it would be if Shannon told Frank and Nancy that their idea of turning a warehouse into an art gallery is ‘silly’…

Spend it? You’re already thinking wrong TJ. Invest it all, give yourself something to retire on. Stupid kid.

C’mon TJ, you knew exactly what you wanted to do with the money just as soon as you torched…er, the accident happened to your truck
kenhense over 9 years ago
Soooo – TJ got away with it. I thought the insurance company could blow him off with threats of fraud and jail.

“The Warehouse Plan”
StoicLion1973 over 9 years ago
And TJ appears to remind readers that he recently came into some money and wants to invest it. Anyone who thinks the Warehouse Plan won’t happen hasn’t been paying attention. BTW, I don’t think Frank & Nancy want to cater to a single audience; the WP came into fruition when Luann or Quill mentioned not having adequate space to hold a play. So, I imagine the warehouse will be converted into a multi-use facility.

No doubt, Toni and Brad’s wedding will be at the warehouse.

Wouldn’t it have been cheaper to just put a lock on the door? Especially if they might close on some other occasion.

A joint venture between Zebo-TJ-DeGroots! What will they call it, Titanic II?
kaffekup over 9 years ago
Frank and Nancy, just be careful if TJ ever says, “You know what this theater needs? A propane tank!”I wouldn’t be coming back to work there.

I wonder if the guy in the knit cap is ever going to actually contribute something useful to this strip (or to his fellow characters).
Ida No over 9 years ago
Yeah, I hate the Submit button sometimes.Actually, the question in the poll is “what would you do if you had a warehouse”, so it kind of lets you do an end run around what Greg and Karen are going to do.

Every character has their own self-interest idea for “The Warehouse”.TJ is the only one who’s being vaguely realistic since $61 K won’y buy you a building anywhere, especially in California.Any bets on Zébo being the current owner of “The Warehouse”, but couldn’t pull off the gallery idea himself, so he’s looking for pigeons to do it for him?

‘cause sometimes it’s just too hard to figure out which shoe goes on which foot, like socks.

Nibble, nibble, Mom & Dad. Before long, you’ll have swallowed the warehouse plan hook, line, and sinker.*When all the circumstances align to put you on a path, pull over and check your map.
ACTIVIST1234 over 9 years ago
I like Shannon’s initiative. She “leans in”.

“Hey, TJ, congratulations on committing insurance fraud! "*SB – Hey, let’s not be cynical— we VOTED on it, so it’s got to be legit. right?
RSH over 9 years ago
Oh Goth, I was starting to like you for your terse and to the point remarks. Now you’ve gone back to being the total void. At least Jock thought of something interesting though not likely doable, but maybe for socks or really flexible shoes made out of some soft polymer.

:) I still really like Emo (Goth Dude) and Jacque (Jock) a lot as characters. Still not really liking the warehouse/gallery idea. It seems so far beyond typical college experience for a freshman course. But…. I will have to defer my final opinion until I see what Greg still has afoot in this regard.

“I think the best Idea would be to have a base shoe "*BS – That’s a fine idea. I used to buy one style of shoe at KMart in Navy, Forest Green, Black, Brown, White, Bone because they were comfortable. Now they’ve quit selling those shoes.*Please tell Jock & TJ about your idea. Ned (Judge Parker entrepreneur) could manufacture them using senior citizens.

maybe you could peel off the out part of the sole. then reverse and stick on a new outer sole portion.

“Hey, TJ, congratulations on committing insurance fraud!”.Some people are SOOOOO distrusting.Just because someone looks guilty, benefited from an event, even has a slightly shady past does NOT PROVE he is guilty this particular time..In fact, the fact he hasn’t figured out what to do with the money yet implies it caught him off-guard.

I have to admit I like Jock.
