I can see it in the kids eyes. Goody a indoor swimming pool.

Want to borrow my shop vac?

I wouldn’t bother to hire Leo’s plumbing ever again, that’s for sure.

Leo ain’t lion…

i see the swimming pool is open

How about using the shut-off valve?

A plumber that does not know to turn the water off? I think you need to get someone else.

FINALLY! a practical plumber…….

Hope Bleeb can swim…

The kid seems to be enjoying this.

Hope they get rid of the “tree log” first

…and still a better plumber than the last one I hired.

His bowl overfloweth

Love the grin on the kid’s face.

Will there be an extra charge for sandbags on loan?

CANNONBALL!!!!!

Plumber must be from Louisiana.

or you could turn off the water at the toilet and get the valve at Home Depot in 20 minutes….

Did I mention my hourly rate when we started?

Woohoo, fishing for brown trout right from my living room!

He must be a cousin of Burl Penny (The Dinette Set)…

That’s certainly not a low-flow toilet.

Now I’m hearing Led Zeppelin’s ‘When the levee breaks’.

drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was NOT dry.

Bleeb: “You fix it now!!!!!”

All he has to do is shut off the main valve at the base of the toilet.Oh wait, that’s right, this is a comic, so we’d lose the humor. (I get this feeling around the “Popeye” comic, too.)
