PreTeena by Allison Barrows for March 23, 2021

Teena should be glad she’s not along for this ride.

… or save gas, time, stay home and shop on Amazon and Ebay for a lower price and better selection!

Perfect illustration of the commercialization and greed of the holiday season.

Yes. 20th century consumer activity was a time consuming bore!

And they wonder why Jeri is the way she is?

Early in our marriage, my husband & I had an interesting & fun way to Christmas shop. Since I didn’t have a license, we would go together to the mall. We’d start in the Food Court, synchronize our watches, agree to a time to meet back up, then we’d split up & shop for each other. It was a lot of fun trying to avoid each other! There were 2 large boxes in the car trunk so that one couldn’t see what the other bought. At the agreed time, we’d meet back in the Food Court, have lunch, then – together – shop for friends & family. All in one day.

I hate buying local though I shouldn’t. The prices are astronomical! Of course the bloody council sets the shops rents skyhigh as well! It all goes back on the council!

A new Buc-cees opened yesterday. Jam packed and the governor showed up.

All too true; thanks, MalWart!

One would think that an artist would be less mocking of small businesses.

Dashing to the Mall, With a pocket full of cash, slipping on the ice, and falling on my ash…

Marxist mayors and governors killed what was left of the small businesses.

Anyone else think that Hugh’s hair in the third panel, looks a bit like horns, or that he has a bat behind his head? Hummm…
