Roscoe ain’t buying it Earl.

Poor Roscoe…a good nap spoiled!

My spouse never ever sleeps in front of the TV. Just wake her up and ask!

“I was seeing my eyelids’ insides” is one excuse that’s classic, but “I was clearing my sinuses” sounds new.

I definitely have to show this to my DH. heh heh heh

She didn’t just turn the TV off, she phasored it!

I like the artwork of Opal using the remote.

It’s the wife that does that at our house — quite regularly.

“…and the sinuses of all within the block.”

“It scares away mice.”

Thank – You Roscoe for the look ! Sorry those two woke you up ;-)

My dog does the head on leg thing like Roscoe in second panel, love it!

Usual comment “I was only resting my eyes”!

I do ok at night until a commercial comes on, then the next thing I know the program is over!

Oh my goodness Earl you sound just like my grandpa Joe who’d watched the Mets’ (he was a Met fan) and we were in walking distance of Shea Stadium so we got to go to all the home games. Plus Papa Joe (his nickname) always got tickets for us and we had a blast. Plus I got to meet all the players as they all knew my grandpa from his job. In fact several of the players dads worked with my Papa Joe. However, at home many times he worked late so he would doze off so I would write down the stats and how the game finished so when he woke up and said “what happened” did they win. I had a play by play for him. He’d give me a big kiss and 50 cents for me and my buddy Patrick to go get comic books and more from Mr. Lavine’s store (candy, books, newspapers, comics and more.

Wife says “I was listening and visualizing it” Y.R.

I was checking my eyelids for pinholes.

LOL! Roscoes look…and it’s always the same….“I was watching that” goes over like a lead balloon…..(((((snort)))))

Now I know what I want — a TV that projects on the ceiling.

Love Crane’s dog in these strips!

Definitely my husband.

For once, I identify completely. I have to have an Audible book playing to go to sleep. If the book ends in the middle of the night, Iwake up. . .

This is so my husband almost every time. At times when he falls asleep while watching tv I hear him sleeping and he starts snoring I ask him if he tired he says no I’m just clearing my throat. yeah right lol

wow… reminds me of my dad (just resting my eyes)

Probably watching golf.

“I was just seeing what the inside of my nose smelled like!”

That was my dad!

I love Roscoes expressions in these strips

Checkin for light leaks

The noise must be sleep inducing-my step-father and my husband conk out every time.

Turn it on again.

Years ago, both my brother and I had fallen asleep watching a ball game on television. We were awakened by peals of laughter. My little grandson was busy playing orchestra conductor to our snoring symphony.

How it goes most sleep when TV is on, Opal should ask what he was watching.

If it helps him sleep, leave it on.

A friend of mine calls it – Calling the hogs.

My dad always leaves the room with the TV on. Be could be gone for 20 minutes but if you change the channel or turn it off he’ll complain that be was “still watching that.”
