Buckles by David Gilbert for December 20, 2023

Too bad this was written before the days of prime membership at the Big River Books and More Store.

Don’t even think of trying to give Jill a finger trap, (see yesterday strip). Put a ribbon and bow on Buckles!

Paul, you are so dead.

And down to the wire, too!

What’d you get Buckles?

Let’s see Paul’s getting a four legged roomate and a long time from “quality” time with Jill.

Buckles expressions today are just precious : )

Mrs asked me what I wanted for Christmas. Told her nothing. Asked her what she wanted for Christmas she showed me a $9000.00 Rolex. I said something realistic. Last night she showed me a pair of boots. $600.00 Better, and maybe even doable.

Reason for divorce. How thoughtful.

Hurry Paul, you might be able to find a convenience store that’s open 24-7.

A nice I.O.U. for one week’s housework between Christmas and New Year’s would probably be pretty awesome nowadays.

“Holidays” are too much pressure.

Unless Jill is Mariah Carey, arrange your funeral now, Paul.

Looks like a trip to the gas station.

You gotta be kidding…..

Ha! I’m going to put my product up in Facebook marketplace as last minute Christmas gifts. See if I can sell them for their actual worth. No one will get away with trying to talk down the price at the last moment.

The last time I tried to sell a +$2,000.00 sectional for $200.00. Everyone responding tried to talk me down saying it wasn’t worth the asking price for a variety of reasons, one of which was “I can’t afford it. It costs too much”! My daughter sold it privately for the actual value and shared the profit with me. I’m certain that all of those who inquired intended to flip the sectional at a mark-up.

Give her the gift of your Christmas Love…

Huston ……. We “HAVE” a problem ….. well in this case ……. Paul has the problem Merry Christmas ……. Maybe …. :)

Today’s title: “Leave it to Buckles”…

I must be weird. If I were married to Paul, I wouldn’t expect a thing. To me, it’s just another day. Same thing for my birthday- don’t celebrate it and don’t expect or want/need any gifts.
