Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for August 21, 2012

Did you hear that noise? That was testosterone leaving the area!!!

Apparently, Jimbo likes mixing apples and oranges, …fruit cocktail, even! (Snagglepuss)

Now that’s saying no with style!

If both of them liked it, why didn’t they get it?

He should barter… she gets the dress and he gets his grill.

Jimbo should know that extended warranties are for suckers.

Hey guys don’t berate Jimbo. Some men are good at picking out clothes for their women. My hubby is all man and dresses me better than I dress myself. I’m more of a jeans and T-shirt gal. I’ve never been a fashionista and he simply knows what will look good on me when I have to dress up.

This is SO me and my wife. She loves that I take an interest in what looks good on her, and that leads better mutual recognition of retail needs. (c:

Maybe he’s still angling for that new Bar-B-Que!

I’ve been a fan of this strip a long time, but someone please help me, what’s going on here ? Upholstery ? What pinstripes ? Extended warranty ? In the second frame, Jimbo seems to be referring to furniture, the last frame, an appliance. And why is Rose so happy at the end ?

Jim is describing the dress as he would describe a new car he may be looking for. Rose finds this side of Jim lovable

Thanks Terry. What threw me was the extended warranty comment. That’s generally something you hear at an appliance store, not an auto dealership.

I liked today’s comic.

Jimbo is smarter (and slicker) than you’re all giving him credit for. Watch this space – he just got his new grill from all that, betcha…Or MY name isn’t Jim, too!

Wait…Jimbo couldn’t even dream of the BBQ from last week?
