Ever seen the movie, “Click” with Adam Sandler, Nancy? You might wish you hadn’t fantasized about a remote that clicks all household gadgets and appliances (although I’d love to have one except when you lose that darn remote and spent an hour looking for it when you could have turned on or off everything long ago)
For me – today’s remotes are a source of endless humiliation. They lost me when the TVs went to two remotes. Don’t know which country I’ll move to, if I have to rent an apartment where they give me a remote that lets me in, turns on the lights, opens the fridge, flushes the toilet……and of course, a password for each function.
Our first Christmas together, my husband gave me a steering wheel cover. I didn’t even know what it was at first, and he quickly learned that he shouldn’t buy things for someone else that are really for himself….
Well, apparently JayBluE is still enjoying his Christmas presents (whatever they may be), so I’ll offer the following “titles” in his absence (hope you’re okay, Jay!):

Not for Christmas, but I remember asking for a universal remote for my birthday a few years ago.

Another gift for both “her” and “him”.

In the second panel, Nancy is reminiscent of Gozer in Ghost Busters.

In selecting a gift for a woman, it’s not generally a good idea to give her cookware or cleaning equipment.
Unless, of course, it’s something nice that she’s specifically asked for.

A gift card would have been better…

Wow! The new Nancy – I never saw her before with the big dynamic expression.

Apparently Gregg’s alter ego would rather draw super heroes!

If Nancy had some longer canine teeth she would really look scary. Beware, Frank..

Zowee! Nancy welds that ‘remote’ like a light saber.
Frank? I think Nancy is telling You She does too much Housework, and If She can ever figure out that remote, She gonna turn OFF Your “Bowl Games.”

Holy cow, with all that remote can do, what will Nancy need Frank for?

And I thought He-Man with his power sword was a true master of the universe…

Looking at the fiery aura around the remote in the second panel, at first, I thought it was a Samsung Galaxy Note 7.

I thought Alexa and/or Cortana did all that.

She is so ungrateful and sarcastic. Sheesh.

If this comic would be a frame longer, it would be where Adam Sandler stepped in.

Hopefully it has a “mute” button that Frank can use on Nancy.

Exactly why it’s best to take time to give her “Her” gifts instead like Jewelry/ Perfume / etc. Remotes / etc ain’t gonna fly.

hard to believe in this day and age Greg would go for this particular joke.

The OPERATIVE word being ‘joke’. She is joking around as much.

Look at how powerful the remote is:
1. The kids are no longer seen.
2. Frank and Nancy are now sitting together on the couch.
3. The Christmas tree moved from one end of the couch to the other.

My remote really does all those things. Except make the bed.

Next frame: Nancy points it at Frank and pushes the ‘Chippendale dancer’ button.

Is it just me or does it look like Luann’s dad is getting older while her mom seems to be getting younger?
