Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for September 20, 2011
Transcript:
Jimbo: What is it? Rose: It's a gazing globe! It's a decorative lawn ornament! Jimbo: What does it do? Rose: It will give me joy...I vote for buying it! Jimbo: I vote for the garden gnome. Vicki: Ornamental gazing globe it is! Rose: Alter egos are reliable tie-breakers!

Looks like the funny little fellow’s left in gnome-man’s land.

Jimbo, you’re married!Chose your battles wisely. A gnome isn’t worth a fight.

So why not spend two quarters and get both?

@john abrams: Doesn’t matter who’s paying for it – since she’s a homemaker, they have their finances in common (a state of affairs with many advantages for domestic felicity).@SmoozeMinkey: Fortunately, neither of them seem to feel the need for BDSM or DD to feel complete as a person.
I love how Jimbo is every inch a man, and Rose every inch a woman, in their behavior towards each other… unlike, IMHO, Sam and Sandy of Home and Away.

@ProudArianne,Gnome-matter what anybody says, you win ‘pun of the day’, although people who don’t like puns might want to EXILE you to gnome-man’s land!

SIGH! Where was my alter ego during my high-school years?

If Jimbo likes the Garden Gnome, he should buy it and set it by the trash cans. It can be part of his nightly Garbage Moment (making it a Garbage Gnome?). Surely neither Rose nor Vickie would deny him that…

My kind of lawn ornaments would be hobbits. fauns, pixies, and wizards. But then again, I live in an apartment so whay should I talk?

If this strip showed a man’s alter ego facing down a woman, it wouldn’t be so “funny.” Either male or female can be overcontrolling in a marriage. I’ve seen it both ways. Incidentally, I’m a female.

Always thought a gazing globe would be nice but too easy to break for as much as they cost.
