i see we’re having the same medical condition – with one exception: you’re an artist who could possibly use those, while I’m not.

You can keep one thing from each bag. And then from those three things, you get to keep one. Choose wisely.

Why can’t you keep them?? As it’s now my birthday, I decree you can keep them!

Crowbar is in the pantry, Dan!

hold on to the Gel pens…

I still remember the moment, nearly 20 years ago, when my mother and I discovered we shared an office supply fetish.

Dan chose the cat mug. Love that!

You can give the stuff you don’t need to your catechism class.

I WANT ALL THE FELT MARKERS!!!!!

I’ll take the bags for litter box waste. I know, the bar is pretty low at my house.

I bet those kids will love all the supplies you are donating. ❤️

I love stationery stores. Wandering around in them has a calming effect with mild euphoria.

School supplies are the best supplies.

A good spouse is a good grip-loosener… and occasionally a good grip-tightener, too.

I thought those were chickens in the first panel.

100% relate

Keep at least one Big Chief Tablet with the chunks of pulp floating in it (inappropriate though it may be) and a giant black pencil. - Doodle like you’re in second grade. - Or earlier.

I retired from public school teaching 4 years ago. I still get a charge out of seeing school supplies on sale this time of year.
