Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for March 08, 2020

when the light fixture is turned off, I unscrew each bulb and shake it near my ear in order to hear the rattling of the loose filament

Tony asked, about 4 hours ago

Bulbs out?

Nope. LEDs.

Easy. If you want to make sure you change the right bulb, just turn it on for a couple of minutes. Then turn it off before you get on the ladder. Change the cold bulb.

Daddy’s lights are also out.

Change them while they’re on. LEDs are going to end lightbulb changing jokes. I have an entire kitchen cabinet that is not full of spare lightbulbs and no indoor stepladder now.

800 lumen LED bulbs, last for years and if you want to, you can leave them on 24/7 for about $1 a month. What an age we live in.

Thanks to all of you above. I was not understanding the comic until now. I thought EVERYBODY used LED’s. I could not understand why someone would have a light that was out.

Looks like Pete still hasn’t changed to LED’s!!!

Nope, way too new fangled. They’ll burn the dang house down mark my words.

feel the bulbs, coolest one is burned out.

No, my bulb’s not out. Dim but not out, yet.

Why would you turn out the light?

take a picture with your phone.

Which one is the most cool?

Fortunately this applies to a limited number of Daddys, the rest of us aren’t technology challenged.

Am I the only person to have to change an LED lightbulb? Granted, there was an electrical problem in that house that we never could track down, but the LED still lasted around 2 years.
