BURL…. selfish, ignorant, never-empathetic Burl ..just expressed…. well, not an outpouring….but at least, a microscopic dab…of actual sympathy for the poor schlub behind the counter!
Have we ever heard him suggest calling off the dogs?Or that someone besides himself might have it hard?Not that I can recall.Burl Penny.What a mensch.
PacoPuddy — it doesn’t really make sense on this side either.The only thing I can think of is that he’s been assigned that station…. they are looking for another cashier…Or maybe his cash drawer pulls out below the side window and when he opens it he can’t reach across.
Morning Crustwood!Including Leaky, wherever you are!
So…. they also have a sign that tells what WAS playing…but if you want to know what’s playing NOW, you have to ask.So yeah, Dale, you’d better be nicer…or he’ll sell you a ticket to the wrong theater.
Nothing to do with today’s panel but while I was meditating on it I flashed to an older single panel comic and could see many similarities. If you don’t know “Our Boarding House – with Major Hoople” then this one day installment will give you little insight. If you know OBH w/MH then you know.
We’ve got a lot today. Yes, the HAZMAT trash can, a petty martinet, Dale going postal, and Burl showing some humanity. And maybe the theater is showing an Alex Karras retrospective with their lead movie, “Who Cut the Wind?” followed by other “wind” offerings, like “Gone with the…” etc.News flash! Even though Julian Assange is fairly shut up in a mini Ecuador these days, I did find a “leak” that indicated Leaky is on a world tour after having an event lasting more than four hours.
There is another way to look at this…. DALE is not standing at a window at all…. The right window is on the opposite side of the ticket booth from the left window… DALE is talking to a glass panel with no grill and no pass thru…. ! ? !
Yes, I can hardly believe that Burl wants to cut the guy some slack for his working conditions. There is definately an opening in front of Dale’s hands as he leans on the counter and I see that both the former show and current “Grudge” are announced. I was wondering the purpose for that Emergency Exit.
And Susan, BF and I are relaxing on the patio at daughter’s house prior to her “white party”. Even outdoor furniture is draped in white. Party did not start until dark (too late for me with that railingless stone stairway and 4"heels with 2 layers of ankle-length dress.
Toenails, that one reminded me of many older cartoons. Cocoa and cinnamon toast for New Years, indeed! In my day we did wild masquerade parties. I had a Harem girl costume.

Question: Am I the only person in the Western Hemisphere that “got” the Lepetomane joke and missed the von Sthupp one?Please say no.
