    Timmy seems so much younger in this one.

    I’ll bet that if Dale really, really practiced hard, he could cough, hiccup, burp and (drum roll) fart at the same time. Burl and Jerry can already do it.

    Summer’s Eve cologne. No, I don’t think I’ll go there.

    Leaky, I’m sorry.

    Morning, Crustwood!

    Love how casually Dale acknowledges writing bad checks.

    Smiles indulgently at Timmy, and shows him how to add up the overdraft fees.

    If he only had a brain….

    One of these days, Timmy, Grandpa might go to jail for it, and Grandma Shemp might ask you to help pay the bills.

    Remember, the bank balance is only a suggestion.

    Marg — maybe Timmy just looks younger cos he’s drawn smaller. Julie always plays fast and loose with drawing relative sizes.

    Or maybe he’s kneeling by the table.

    But he’s old enough to read the words “Overdraft notice.”Always a little sinking feeling the day you realise their reading comprehension has bloomed….

    Not only do they probably know what that private notation means on the calendar….they can read upside down when you open your mail at the breakfast table.

    Leaky!

    I’m sorry you’re taking it so hard… what a sad avatar last night.

    I know it works about as well to tell someone “it’s only a game” as it does to come in here (or OMG the “Luann” forum!) and say “It’s only a comic.”

    OTOH, this is only a comics forum…We’re all kidding most of the time.

    I think everybody here is perfectly willing to accept that your “solemn promise” was only a joke.

    Please come back!

    What if Marg ends up in jail again?You know how she is!

    Or what if GymShoe ends up commenting first without you here?

    You have to reconsider.

    If only Burl had half a brain.

    Leaky, can we negotiate that down to about 6 hours, in which case you’ve already done your time?

    Leaky, even Blago gets parole. One month is better than two, but one day Vs. two months is about the ratio that Lindsay Lohan had to serve. Maybe if both of us promise not to talk football until next September…

    Is Dale trying to deflect the question by offering to display his “cough, hiccup and burp” talent? Maybe hoping Timmy has a short attention span.

    Now not only are they trying to “educate” Timmy to their (lack of) standards, but Timmy looks chubbier than I had previously noticed. Naturally he has to eat what they feed him. And they don’t trust him to behave (put the nicknaks out of reach and cover the furniture)..

    Leaky, I agree that a day is enough. If you are going to do something penitential, do something to improve your health or otherwise useful (unless you can make much better use of posting time). If you type as slowly as I, the latter is propabaly the case, but it’s fun to get responses from forum friends.

    Won’t Dale hyperventilate doing all that at once? I guess we can hope!

    Glad to see you back, Pat. I have some Bombay for guests but my standard is Seagrams and I also drink Beefeaters. I’ll have one now to toast the (apparent) reunion of everyone here, tho’ Susan has yet to check in since Pat’s return ;-P

    On the side (as it is bedtime) I think you should all check out “Priceless” (the relatively new strip here at Gocomics) and I think the site is trying to fix that A-Z linking (but I could not quite reach Dark Horse from Daddys Home today (at least the visual was there).

    @Pat & Travis, I don’t need no stinkin’ olives or onions in my gin! I even save the vermouth to drink some other time. On the rocks, baby! G’night!
