Bless your mercenary little heart, Shannon.

well, a little expensive, but Shannon did work, and how come Shannon charges “so much”?, it was not learned from Daddy Jonah; remember that one time Luann charged a very high fee for babysitting

Shannon expects riches from hard work. She needs to lower her bar on the ground-floor payscale, though.

Shannon has indeed hereditary instincts from her shiftless father. But she also has spunk and talent, not from her father. She just needs discipline and self-control. You can help her now, Brad!

If she’s too old to believe a one dollar bill is “one hundred dollars”, he can just say OK and deduct $90 for mop rental, $5 for bucket rental, and $4 for soap. I would do stuff like that with my demanding little niece, who, yes, got the joke. LOL

I seem to remember you can pay a subscription to become a Pro. I forget the details.

They’re for people who like to show off the fact that they are paying for the same service that the likes of you and I get for free.

You can save time and call me a troll too.

With inflation, when Shannon get be old enough to work, a hundred for mopping a floor will probably be reasonable.

No, we’re just special! ☺

Not sure I follow. Brad is gainfully employed – in a pretty important job, too. Toni’s brother, on the other hand, dumps his kid on his sister without even asking, never takes care of her, can’t hold down a job and bums off of others. Brad may be might want to be more careful about talking in front of Shannon, but they are polar opposites.

Ummm…hey folks, it’s a COMIC STRIP! Take it at face value, enjoy the story and move along. :-)

Okay, let Me ask the question: If Jonah never had a job, how in the world is he supporting himself and Shannon? Is Jonah secretly harvesting that same “money tree” that TJ is? Good thing this is just a comic. If this were REAL some Government agencies would be asking some very pointed questions. Okay, Coffee time!

Love the seriousness of Shannon working on that floor. She is good when focused.

Must get Tonis’ brother together with his potential soulmate, Delta. Let her straighten him out. She needs a project and we need some diversion.

I got the “Pro” marking when the 2 sites merged- or maybe it was that I wrote to them and said I hoped to see a page with all my comics together, because then I got it!

This is a good strip, advances the story line and makes a point. /// Remember, Shannon pushed that button, so she works for free. But she could be given something for a treat at the Zoo. /// And did she clean up properly? She should be taught to do that, especially if her dad does not follow through on things.
doverdan over 13 years ago
Jonah must have some work or income. — He has a house and a car and takes care of Shannon some of the time. // I agree with some here that Brad should not talk down Jonah, especially in front of Shannon. But does she hear this?
doverdan over 13 years ago
I moved over but never got any pro status. Was there some button I did not press?
imbaldeagle over 13 years ago
LDover, I don’t know. I moved over along with everybody else on June 1 and was automatically given PRO status. But then I was already a member on gocomics at that time.

Same here @imbaldeagle and @Dave

many “slackers” do not maintain jobs, but have the gift to “get jobs real quick”, so they maintain themselves through their countless 1 or 2 weeks jobs

toni is just as guilty as brad for talking down about her brother in front of shannon. brad knows exactly what dirk is all about (even if dirk is now reformed); he saw how he treated toni and he witnessed dirk stealing from that old lady friend of Luann’s… imo opinion the brad-toni story and gunther are the most interesting aspects of this strip.

THANK YOU!
LovDComix over 13 years ago
I also joined gocomics and comics dot com so I guess that having both is why I have the pro status. I don’t really care if i could I’d give it to you who want one.

People like Jonah can only live in their dream worlds as long as others enable them. A hard dose of reality may well be what he needs.

@Coaster, hello CAD. Couldn’t miss that “Bwad.”
serenasakitty over 13 years ago
Trolls are not someone with an opinion that disagrees. Trolls are people who call other posters names or make statements designed to rile everyone. They seem to know how to push everyones button.

Anyone else notice we haven’t seen Brad’s roommate T.J. for a looong time?..
