Maybe Marcia shouldn’t dazzle him quite so much with her footwork.

Thad seems to be a head case.

Why do you print so small, don’t you like us old people ? ? :-)))

True, Thad has always been more of a counter punch liner than anything else, hence Marcia’s repartee with a briefcase…

Aww, looks like Thad’s had a very bad day. Time for some tea and sympathy Marcia, or maybe a double scotch.

Marcia has been practicing her rope-a-dope, but never seems to get that far.

Some days you’re the windshield. Some days you’re the bug.

Seems silly.

Why would you want to punch a counter or a cow for that matter?

I don’t think Thad’s “situation” is Marcia’s doing, but Thad’s job…

Sooo, assuming he’s in Advertising, and works for his mean father…

Sad lad Thad had bad mad cad dad ad…

( ͡~ ﹏ʖ ͡~ )

Thad’s a wise man and figured long ago Martha’s gonna win anyway so might as well concede right at the start.

The “briefcase sulk” is a hard one to find the proper response. :)

His inserts are at a loss. :)

what’s a counterpuncher?

Yeah same goes for me, bump up to reader size!

Life always wins the battle. Some just hit the mat faster than others.

There are counterpunchers and there are those who are counterpunched. Thad appears to be the latter.

I don’t think Thad’s a puncher, a counterpuncher, a brawler, a clincher, or a boxer.

Thad is more of a hide inside my attache case kind of guy.
