Too late! Always immediately look for missing pieces. For me, it’s the younger grandkids who bang on the table and send pieces over the edges. So I stopped playing puzzles and am waiting for the youngest to outgrow the lets-send-everything-over-the edges phase.
As I said a few days ago, the puzzle must be completed, so negotiate a trade with Puddles for something tastier than wet cardboard pieces, get some glue and clear tape and do the NASCAR thing. Don’t stop.
I had a cousin that would swipe a couple pieces of a puzzle, and produce them along with a wild story of them being lodged in their shoe or some such rubbish.
Years ago, I spent a great many hours making a jig saw puzzle out of a photo of an antique car, glued to a very thin plywood backing. It was about 18" X 24" and I cut it very intricately on an old Delta jig saw. Once completed, I took it to my parent’s home to put it together for the first time. Got it finished, except for one piece. There it was, on the floor being chewed by my Grandmother’s nasty dog. Man, I wanted to kill that pooch.
Oh no! Even the faithful Puddles give gis contribution to ruin Nancy’s moment of relax?! It’s a total defeat! In the end, the one who behaved best with Nancy was Luann, who left her enjoy her jigsaw alone. This story made me want to do a jigsaw.
I wonder if next week we will see the return of Aaron hill and delta! It would be a fun storyline if Luann sees them sneaking around in town and have a little fling!

Puddles!!! Bad Dog!!! Don’t eat that!
I can’t imagine the puzzle piece tastes any good. And at what point was Puddles able to take a piece off of the table to chew on it?

Puddles. Puzzles. Really there is not much difference. Just exchange the z’s for d’s.

I was right yesterday when I said Puddles would be the next participant.

That’s what happens when you won’t buy any chew toys for poor Puddles!

Ah.
Poor Pud probably thought the puzzle piece was an animal cracker or a chew toy or something.
But if Nancy truly wants to relieve stress, next time try COFFEE.
Works for Me……., ;-)

Huh! My comment here and at ArcaMax have been deleted. I guess retirement is prohibited speech.

Called the Puddles appearance yesterday. Perhaps next week we’ll actually seem the strip’s namesake all week. A Piro arc will be revived.

Yeah… You may not want the piece back…

When that puzzle piece does show up I don’t think you’ll want to place it in the puzzle anymore.

Bernice has the last piece in her pocket so she can be the one who “finishes” the puzzle

I do jigsaw puzzles in a pet-free zone: the spare bedroom with the door closed.

This was a cute little comedy arc this week .
I wonder if next week we will see the return of Aaron hill and delta! It would be a fun storyline if Luann sees them sneaking around in town and have a little fling!
