Transcript:
Rick: Quit my job? C'mon, Joanie, get serious. Joanie: Okay, how about working at home, then? This is important, Rick. Rick: Then why don't you do it? Joanie: It's not as practical. C'mon, Rick, you're the one who wrote about the new breed of committed fathers! Rick: Right, as a detached reporter. Joanie: Huh? Rick: I wasn't actually involved, Joanie. It wouldn't have been professional.

Reading this arc leaves me wondering whether Trudeau plotted Jeff from the start.

“I wasn’t involved… it wouldn’t have been professional.” An interesting way to rationalize a lack of interest in doing something you’ve been asked to do…

OhioMike said, @Jack’s World“Oh, buddy, you’ve gonna catch bloody H for praising Trump around here!”.Not out of love for his opponent. This is definitely better than one from the ancient past, just three years ago this time..Nonetheless, Donald Trump is an obnoxious man who has promised to do unconstitutional acts if elected, praised murderers, mocked pretty much everybody, lied repeatedly on multiple subjects (Yes, Hillary does it too, but that doesn’t make it right.), belittled mothers whose sons died in service to our country, refused to pay legitimate bills, bragged about bribing elected officials throughout his life, bragged about breaking his marriage vows repeatedly..If he man ever does something good, good for him, but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s too stupid to be president and nobody’s safe around him.

Just so you will know – – – – – .I belong to a local debating society
We don’t come here to debate, especially endlessly about a subject that has nothing to do with the comic strip.lindz.coop Premium Member about 8 years ago
As for the comic…how convenient. That kid doesn’t really have parents…and they should not have had him. Career minded people should stick with their careers…I did and I’ve never been sorry (nor have any of those kids I didn’t have.)
