Amanda the Great by Amanda El-Dweek for July 10, 2023

Are the first three panels Amanda’s imagination taking charge, mistakenly thinking the priest will give the place the white-glove test?

I love Father’s glasses and that one hiked up eyebrow. The shape of his glasses really helps his eyes look extra beady and judgmental!

remorse doesn’t pay, Dan. Unfortunately.

Swipe righteous.

I think if we had a homestudy, they’d say WE weren’t allowed to live here!

Gasp! The nerve of that priest.

His job is not to pass judgement, but to forgive…and forget he ever saw dust on the surface….LOL!

We called our Mom," The White Glove"! In a very loving way of course! She made us clean and straighten out the dresser drawers every Saturday, amongst other cleaning jobs. Them were the days…..memories

Another example of the spirit of the law and not so much the letter of the law. Remember, this will be the same guy who can forgive your sins. Dust to dust allegory somewhere as well.

Sorry (not sorry), Father; but you’ve overstayed your welcome.

Get excommunicated asap and spare yourselves that drama.

What a pita.

Amanda regrets it, too, depending on how much effort she’s already put into cleaning.

He would leave with a fur coat with all the cat hair around here.

I’m not sure I’d want any of those people in my house. Last time one of them paid a visit my brother went into his room and hid. Turns out he was one of Father’s “Special Kids” IYKWIM. I was too old for the pedo’s taste.

It’s not like you’re celebrating Passover. I know someone whose Yarmelke blew off his head. He claimed the Rabbi jammed it back as if he was trying to ’permanently affix it to his scalp."

At my age it seems as if I had just finished dusting when (a week later) it needs to be done again. Time moves so much faster now.

Cleaning the house when you have pets is like brushing your teeth while eating Oreos.
