Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for September 26, 2020

You wouldn’t have been able to see the numbers…..anyhow.

Yep… always a good plan – don’t own a scale!

Well, that’s a weight off your mind.

I mean why measure something that changes with every different gravity.

My scale is stuck. It’s a good number so I didn’t fix it.

On a scale from one to ten…..

Take off your shoes; that should eliminate 10 lb.

Works for me.

You stop gaining weight if you stop weighing yourself. You prove there aren’t any fish when you stop putting your line in the water. You stop having more COVID cases when you stop testing. It’s all the same logic—or absence thereof.

That no weigh/no gain must have come from some Washington politicos.

The last line should have been: “I maxed out the scale”.

Cosmo’s comment is clearly a lie, not clever misdirection. Not weighing himself cannot be construed as not gaining weight. All he needed to say was that he had not noticed any weight gain for several weeks to give Roz the impression that he hadn’t gained weight and prompt her to ask “What’s your secret?” He could then answer to Roz’s question by saying “I’ve stopped weighing myself.” “Not noticing” is NOT a lie.

I enjoy Shoe but pretty much everyone else did that joke a couple of months ago.

Jeff did something similar when he was alive. Meanwhile strips with new content everyday are being eliminated. Frog Applause, Graffiti, Health Matters, World of Wonder, Uncle Art’s Fun Page and others. But the strips that rerun gags like this stay on.

Trump is taking a similar track to reduce the number of reported Covid cases!

He didn’t have a choice, they shut down the trucking weigh station.

Sure. That works. Just like not testing for COVID will make the number of infections go down.

This is Trump’s way to keep COVID numbers down

What a great idea! I’m gonna try it……LOL!

I took a hefty dump and lost 2 pounds… that’s sayin’ something…

That’s some heavy advice, dude…
