Hint, Slim: if you tell Clovia to leave, then you’ll be leaving the home involuntarily (when bank forecloses on you) very soon but your mum and Chubby will have decamped before that point with all your money!
She decides to come back, for no good reason, on Christmas Eve. Again, let’s see how much this current story arc repeats the 2005 one: http://www.gocomics.com/gasolinealley/2005/12/24
Slim has the trouble of being both a push over to his wife and a moron that can’t tell when he is being taken. He needs to kick out the dead beats and stand up to the wife.
Get rid of ’em, Slim. Your relationship with your wife is worth far more than that with deadbeats!
We had my wife’s freinds take advantage of us, years ago. They moved in on us without asking, the scenario was just like this. I had to throw them out – the landlord came down on me, I lost my job that week, and there was suddenly no money coming in. Did they contribute – even after we asked them to do so? Not more than a pittance, not even 1/10 their share. Before we were evicted, I had to throw them and their two big slobbering dogs out, even after explaining the situation and asking them to find a place elsewhere.
And yet, after 30 years I’m still the bad guy for throwing them out. Go figure.
The frighting thing is the Skinners are Scancarelli’s favorite’s and not the Wallets. I could actually see the strip following the Skinners. If that was the case I would give up a 50+ year following of GA.

Slim, recycling old Jack Benny jokes at a time like this is not a good idea.

Too bad this seems to all be a recycle of a plot used just six years ago. Start here and read on: http://www.gocomics.com/gasolinealley/2005/11/21
I just hope the story doesn’t follow EXACTLY the same lines as six years ago about this time.

@ jpb_ca, thanks for the link. If you follow that story line into January, you’ll see Clovia found a way to evict Mother…I hope she can do it again!

It’s either Clovia or your relatives, Slim. If I were you, I pick Clovia.
But…, if it’s one way or the other, then I’m afraid of the outcome. ::worried::

Honestly, I’m thinking if Slim had any sense he’d send all three packing.

After 40 years Slim’s gotta think it over. Time for Clovia to see a lawyer!
