Close to Home by John McPherson for June 22, 2023

maybe he thinks the floor is made of lava!

Al may think you’re trying to leave him.

I’m retiring June 30. No clinging for me.

Remind him that you married him for better or worse, but not for lunch.

Would you call this harassment since he’s always riding her back?

Dryer sheets can help with static cling.

Ssssshhh! He’s—right—there!

Oh great, now I’m conditioned that when I see the name “Al” I think it’s another joke about Artificial Intelligence, sigh.

Bleeb’s looking a bit more like himself…

Now Bleeb is ORANGE! What’s going on?

Get off her back!

But on the plus side, it’s great for reaching those high cabinets.

Must be the Velcro

And people wonder why she calls him Velcro…

Twice the husband, half the pay.

Just because you’re retiring doesn’t mean you can’t try “new things”…

When I was a kid a lady I knew husband retired. She had a nervous breakdown 2 months later.

I thought he was being thoughtful, she just cleaned the carpet and he doesn’t want to get it dirty.
