Remember Wilbur’s not-son? Too bad she didn’t make friends with him
Post Content
Mary Worth, 6/13/26
Dawn’s never alone because of her friends! You know, like Cathy, who’s always eating giant salads, and other Cathy, who Dawn probably drifted away from because she didn’t “get” Dawn’s weird and possibly sexual relationship with her art history professor, and her terrible ex-boyfriend Jared, who dumped her and then bullied her into being friends with him so he could feel OK about getting together with the girl he dumped her for, and … uh, I think that’s it. Well, there’s Mary, I guess. She’s sort of a friend. And Tommy! Over the course of the day they’ve at least become friendly. That’s close enough, right?
Mother Goose and Grimm, 6/13/26
The good news is that Ma Goose is now reciting her tepid jokes at some random character we’ve never seen before instead of just saying them into the phone. The bad news is that she looks terrible. I think she might be dying?
Six Chix, 6/13/26
Hey, wouldn’t it be interesting if your dog were chased by some kind of giant, nightmarish bug creature? Have a fun weekend, everybody!

Six Chix:
Zhuangzu dreamed he was a dog chasing a butterfly. But when he woke up, the butterfly started chasing him. Did I get that right?
Mother Goose and Grimm: The whole setting here – sinister dark room, one-way mirror on the wall, weary tortured demeanor, stony faced questioner looming over her – is very “secret service interrogation”. There are plenty of comics characters I wouldn’t mind seeing extraordinarily renditioned to a CIA dark site, but I don’t think Mother Goose is one. Her puns aren’t quite bad enough to deserve suspending her civil liberties.
Chix (sic): The giant, baby-stealing Tsetse Flies Peter Falk describes in The In-Laws have finally reached the Southern border.
Mary Worth: “I used to think I’d never get this life thing right. When I was a kid, I had a hard time… I was bullied a lot.” “That’s rough. Have you tried drugs?”
MW:
“I was bullied a lot. They made fun of my hair.”
“Go figure.”
Rex Morgan: “What do you say we get some recording done, so you can get out of here to go boff your new girlfriend?” “Heck, why does any guy make any kind of music ever? It’s all for the boffing!”
MW: If I didn’t know that Tommy was a big dumb puppy dog, I’d assume that he was being sarcastic in that last panel. “We’re not alone? Wow, I’ll try to remember that. Very wise, so original. No really, let’s stop at this tattoo shop so I can have that written across my bicep…”
MGG: Why are these two so close to each other in a darkened room? Are they were actually fucking just below the panel while having this mundane conversation? Sorry, that awful thought entered my mind and now I have put it in yours too.
6C: Meh. Sylvester the cat and Hippity Hopper the baby kangaroo did it better in Looney Tunes cartoons 75 years ago.
CS: “This is a rare, 80-year-old paper poster promoting my father’s band. It’s been sitting out in the open here in this unheated storage locker. Here, why don’t I pass it around so each of you can touch it with your greasy mitts?”
MW: “I’ll try to remember that, Dawn. Problem is, I have no friends.”
Six Chix : this isn’t the first time Saturday Chix has depicted the Great Outdoors as being filled with monstrous, giant insects that will devour you the second you wander into them.
MW:
“I was tormented by a malevolent sheep. Wooly Bully.”
MW “Yeah Dawn, I’ll *try* to remember that because, wow, you’re the first person to *ever* tell me we’re not alone in *all* of my substance abuse recovery including the people who got me into the bible what with their huge emphasis on a personal / friend relationship with Jesus even when you’re alone ‘in the world’ … suuurrrre”
Brigman is *nailing* sarcastic expression in P2 today!
MW-“I was bullied a lot mostly by my mother.”
MW:
“This neighborhood kid would always declaim against me from a rostrum. It was a bully pulpit.”
Mother Goose-“And my mother would tie me down to the bed.”
JP: Let’s look into the inner thoughts of these two ninnies, shall we?
‘I’m gonna miss you.’ [Thank whatever deity I pray to I will soon be free of the chaos that seems to follow you wherever you go!]
‘I’m gonna miss you SO much.’ [Where am I going to find another spineless token girl who will follow me on my ‘madcap’ adventures that somehow involve the CIA?]
Luann: The postal service at Camp Whereversville must have access to teleportation technology, if this whole exchange is taking place before the damn camp has even started!
Luann 2: I learned mosquitoes EAT campers! I have to man a gunnery platform for 8 hours a week to make sure they don’t carry any campers away to their hideous lair filled with the drained corpses of their previous victims!
Oh, and there was some other stuff about how to safely administer CPR and listening to campers who say they have food allergies, but I wasn’t really paying attention…
GT: I’m sure this is exactly the kind of conversation Isis wanted to be having after her ordeal. When does Keri pull out the bucket of pig’s blood to throw at the school security guard standing by the door?
Luann While I admit those are the type of crafts made at many camps, they definitely don’t need much practice. Unless you’re Luann, who apparently failed “scissors and glue” in elementary school.
GT If you’re going to draw a photographer to be copied as the left side of multiple panels in at least two days’ worth of strips, you could at least take a few minutes to line up the drawing so it looks like the guy is actually looking at the camera screen instead of staring blankly into space, not wanting to think about the ridiculous outfits The Youngs are wearing, too downtrodden to smile encouragingly at the couples, and definitely utterly unconcerned about whether you’ve got a good shot
Curtis Are we actually supposed to be on Curtis’ side against Barry here? Because you do *not* let a kid think that the appropriate response to nasty teasing is (even mild) violence. Yes, Barry ought to face consequences but Curtis needs stronger ones.
@pugfuggly:re:MW – I think it’s not Tommy being sarcastic, it’s Brigman(:
CS: Uh, Dinkle Jr.? The reason the ‘heroes’ didn’t always win in films noir is usually because their character had either committed some unspeakable deed in the past that catches up with them (see Robert Mitchum in the literally titled ‘Out of the Past’) or they commit some crime onscreen and must pay the Hays Code-enforced penalty.
Fred MacMurray in ‘Double Indemnity’ was NOT supposed to be some aspirational figure!
MG & G: Sure, Ma Goose looks like she’s dying. But the man she’s talking to (Jakob or Wilhelm Grimm? Perhaps some other historical linguist?) doesn’t look any better. So maybe he’s dying as well, and this installment is a step towards the strip’s rebrand as HOSPICE LAFFS.
MW: The Mary mind-meld appears complete. Mary has a healthy new body and Dawn will never notice a thing. Carry on.
MG&G: Ma does look a bit peaked. Maybe she needs some goose grease? Or did I just inadvertently suggest something horrible?
Tommy is looking like being alone is starting to sound better and better after spending a coupla hours with this ditz.
@J.J. O’Malley: Also the Tex Avery short “King Sized Canary”
Marvin – I was going to say that’s a really big dog poop bag Jeff is carrying until I realized it’s for Marvin, not Bitsy. The other guy doesn’t even have to carry a bag. That’s what the pockets on his cargo shorts are for.
@The Rambling Otter: I’m near certain that the Looney Tunes short, where Tweety Bird kept turning into a giant Hyde monster was inspired by King Sized Canary.
Mark Trail: Seeing Mark’s surprised expression, Dreama’s son gave him his Christmas goose half a year early
MW: “I used to think I’d never get this life thing right. Now I’m certain I never will. I mean, have you seen my dad?”
Lockhorns: “Gold is still in the lead”? Leroy and Loretta have the proper sour, distrusting demeanor, but they should spend less time watching infomercials gussied up as actual news. It’s a shorter trip than you think from “Look at these amusing imitation reporters” to “Get my bank card”.
Crankshaft: Don’t get your hopes up. There is no femme fatale, and this won’t turn into Postman or Detour.
FC: Dolly weighs in on the Why are there two Dakotas? controversy. Which of her commie teachers has awakened the sleeper agent in her?
Zits: A good gag idea ruined. Is this supposed to be an ice cream cake? Did the artist ever see a birthday cake candle burn down?
Wizard of Id: I’d like to think that I’m online enough to have heard this punchline lobbed at artists. If it isn’t a common retort, it ought to be. Good job!
Blondie: This is how you set up and pay off a gag.
MW: “I’ll try to remember that..” is exactly the thing you’d say when you’ve already forgotten what the other person is blathering on about.
MW – “We’re never really alone… I always feel like there’s someone watching me. Lots of people. On their computers. And they’re all making wisecracks.”
MG&G – It could be worse, Mother Goose. You could be wearing glasses in spite of not having any eyes.
Don Abundio, translated:
“Excuse me, I’d better attend to those gentlemen”
“Let them wait!”
“I would…”
“But those stripes are simply atrocious!”
MARY WORTH: Speaking of Brigman, has Tommy started seeming a little…off-model ever since his Inportant Haircut? I mean, I don’t know how “hot” in universe he was supposed to be considered before, but he was at least relatively handsome. But cutting his hair seems to have had some sort of “Samson effect” on Tommy, and he seems to be morphing into a Jared that’s addicted to creatine and still waiting for the Botox to finish settling in.
@Hibbleton: Most notably, I’m sure some of the tenants have said this to Mary over the years after one of her “counseling sessions”.
MW- you’re telling your life story to an ex-druggie who has obkect permanence issues. Your last “boyfriend” had control issues and dominated you. You’ve dated almost every male in town including teachers, exchange students and “Jared????”.
When exactly did you figure life out?
MW: “I’ll try to remember that, uh, Dawn.” Tommy is surprised that Dawn is still there after he speeds up as shown in P2.
MG&G: That’s the saddest present perfect ever. “I’ve wanted to run away from home, even now that I am an adult, but my mother’s voice, ever hectoring in my head, prevents me.”
Oh, and the joke may not have been original when Peanuts did it either, but at least the characters were children!
Dustin: I mean, sure. Six months ago would have been mid-January, and I assume you in the same vaguely Midwestern suburbia inhabited by all comic strip families, so…
GT: It’s weird how Keri, though nominally a protagonist, is practically indistinguishable from the type of strawman propped up by the far right: a joyless scold with non-traditional pronouns whose activism consists entirely of yelling at other people.
JP: “I’ll never forget you, Renee!”
“Reena!”
“Whatever…”
MW: You mean that boring black and white poster with the Times New Roman font, questionable alignment and generic graphics failed to bring in the crowds? Color me shocked.
Pluggers never go anywhere or do anything.
FC: In a show of devotion to his beloved sister, Jeffy shits himself to distract their parents from Dolly’s blasphemous loyalty oath.
@2+2=7: You’re not the only one to notice. I’ll give them the shoulders, we can say he stopped slouching after the haircut, but the shape of his nose has changed. And what’s happening with his cheekbones?
@The Quiet Man: Yeah, imagine watching Notorious or Sunset Boulevard and coming away thinking “Welp, nice guys finish last, that’s life I guess!”
Mary Worth: What’s Tommy looking at? In both panels, he’s looking directly behind Dawn, not at Dawn. Either he’s misinterpreted the concept of eye contact, or there’s a big bug on the back of her head.
Fingers crossed that Tommy’s been talking to the bug the whole time!
You’re in for it now, Tommy. Dawn learned trite platitudes from the grand master. If Worth-sensei is grooming young Weston to be her successor you may end up becoming the sexless paramour forced to listen to endless boring recaps of the lives of people you couldn’t give any less of a shit about.
***
I don’t know if making a comic character look like she’s sick of her warmed-over jokes helps make the strip better, but I appreciate the attempt at empathy, artist who I can’t be bothered looking up.
***
Six Chix is just showing us accidental forced perspective as the butterfly flies closer to the camera while it and the dog are fleeing some eldritch horror that’s off camera. Maybe Wilbur Weston who hasn’t had anything to do for months and can’t be depicted for both copyright and sanity reasons.
@CanuckDownSouth, Curtis: …
(although, in the earlier days of the strip, Curtis would be ‘farting stars’, so there has been progress…)
MG&G: Why is this random man sitting so close to Ma Goose? Their faces are practically touching. Are they about to make out? I know the syndicates have basically ceased all quality control at this point, but surely they won’t allow that.
LUANN: “I do remember you”
I love how Luann emphasized that, so we can congratulate our girl for finally learning object permanence. I bet Luann was doing the S-M-R-T dance after eventually mastering that particular skill.
LUANN (2): Also I’m pretty sure Phil will finally be able to move out and get that home of his dreams now that he’s working 24/7. I mean he’s wearing his stupid scrubs every fucking time we see him, so that must be what’s happening right? (I mean the only other explanation is that much like Stef and other one-dimensional caricatures that pop up here, Phil’s entire personality is his costume, and therefore has to wear it at all times or else he’ll be rendered as a complete non-entity and that’s too pathetic to be believable.)
JP: I’m thinking of taking up a collection to bribe the writer, so that after this tearful parting the strip follows Reena as she makes a new life with Ansel in Oslo, and we never see Sophie or any of the Parker-Driver collective again. Any interest?
Granted it will be the same writer, so there’s a very good chance Reena’s story goes completely off the rails after the first couple weeks and she and Ansel find themselves on the run from (spin wheel) Peruvian (spin wheel) cowboys working for (spin wheel) the Bavarian Illuminati.
@Victor Von: Brigman is giving us an innovative angle on the “distracted boyfriend” meme where we don’t see what the guy is looking at, so the joke doesn’t make sense. In fact this is so innovative there’s no joke at all.
@TheDiva: Re: JP: The joke would also work if you called her “Ronnie”
GT: “A local photographer had a seizure and died at the Milford Prom last night. Sources say that no one noticed Arnold Kovack, age 67, for two hours after his death, due to a controversy over whether to speak to Keri “Peanut” Thorp. This is WDIG.”
Mary Worth: “Don’t just try. Promise me next time you walk down the block, you’ll wear pants. We’re never really alone.”
GT: How sweet. Second panel couple is headed straight to their wedding right after the prom.
@ValdVin: Am thinking of that episode of “The Fairly Odd Parents” where Timmy wished that everything he said automatically becomes correct.
He mistakingly states in class that there are 49 states.
Then the Principal says over the intercom “North Dakota and South Dakota have settled their differences and merged into one big Dakota!”
Six Chix:
Looks like Fido here’s about to taste the business end of one of the Mojave Wasteland’s many cazadores.
Mother Goose: This is an especially striking demonstration of how Mother Goose’s art style makes everyone look like they’ve suffered massive strokes.
Six Chix: Ah, Six Chix. In a world of ceaseless change, this comic being totally baffling and incoherent is a rare constant.
GA: We were somewhere around Barlow’s on the edge of Hootin’ Holler when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like “I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive…” And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Snuffy’s place. And a voice was screaming: “Skeezix! Take the wheel!”
RIP Gene Shalit. He was 100.
REX MORGAN M.D.: Truck: “I guess my life hasn’t exactly been ordinary (sidebar: snicker!), but in the long run, it turned out pretty good. I mean when I first appeared, I was doing low-paying gigs in two-bit dive bar and had to resort to freeloading to make it, and now I get to do low-paying gigs and two-bit dive bar where…hey wait a minute!”
6CX: Ahhh, they’re so cute when they’re little. But they grow up so fast! :-(
LUANN: Those art projects make perfect sense if the youngsters go camping outside and meet leprechauns and such. Set up a welcoming tent and windmill for the wee ones, along with an acorn cap full of ale .
CS: and will you folks be able to play those old band recordings without a gramophone or 45 rpm player?
GA: all so Hoottin’ Holler gang can have party come to YOU tomorrow!
GT: they’re not talking to you Keri because it’s easier to talk ABOUT you, behind your back.
CS: That’s right, Dinkle. Your dad was never home because he had a full schedule of paying gigs, something most musicians or creative arts types would envy. I’m sure Vincent Van Gogh, who sold only one painting in his lifetime, would feel real sorry for him.
DT: If Soly Tare was clever enough to use cut outs for the many other heists, why meet with these guy personally? This whole arc does NOT work on so many levels!
JP: And after that Reena and Sophie never saw each other again, until years later when Charlotte is visiting Norway.
6C: This is one of those butterflies that only has like 72 hours to mate before it dies, isn’t it?
@treetown: On JP – And when Reena, now a successful businesswoman having skillfully manuevered Glucas’ family out of their own organization and leveraged said organization into several lucrative government contracts, sees the all-grown-up raspberry-haired brat chasing a squirrel down the street with a disturbingly manic expression while being chased by her exhausted caregiver Neddy and hears one of them say the name ‘Sophie’, she will shake her head, say ‘I’m SO glad I left that noise behind!’ and get into her luxury sedan on her way out to her modern Norwegian home on some fjord where her handsome lover awaits.*
*No, not Askel the barista.
PLUGGERS: Absolutely! After a lifetime of furnishing your home to look and feel exactly as you wanted, it’d be foolish to go anywhere else unless you are masochistic or need adventure
@Guillermo el chiclero: Reunited with his brothers Roger C. Carmel and Avery Schreiber in heaven! (removes hat)
Crank: Funkyverse characters can’t fathom escapism and prefer their fiction to reflect how depressing their lives are. Explains a lot, don’t it?
Phantom: “That’s why they say ‘Nomad is an island!'”
Pluggers: It took me two goes to parse this because I’m so used to “staycation” meaning “a holiday where you don’t leave the country” rather than as it should “a holiday where you don’t travel anywhere you can’t get back from in less than a day”. Congratulations to Pluggers for using it correctly!
RMMD: “I guess my life hasn’t been ordinary either — you may have got a cartoon series, turned the Mirakle Method into something that’s probably not a scam any more, and be dating a waitress who’s actually a movie star, but I got very sick one time, wrote a song about a motel, and I’m dating a waitress who’s actually a waitress!”
MARY WORTH: Ok, you guys? I know not everyone uses that website, but you really need to follow Josh on Bluesky, at least for this day, because I just found out on that apparently Dawn and Tommy HAVE met before! This was way back when he was still in “Tommy the Tweaker” mode all sinister sneers and dirty wifebeaters and greasy ponytails. Dawn had to return and item that Iris left over at Wilbur’s place. Tommy answered, derisively refered to her as “the boyfriend’s daughter” before giving her bod an appreciative one-over and leering at her like a creep. Surprisingly, Dawn was put-off by his sleazy come-ones and lecherous grins and quickly beet feet as soon as she was able.
I mean, this does kinda explain why Dawn initially looked at Tommy with disdain at the beginning this storyline since even though their first meeting happened over 20 years ago, time has no meaning in Mary Worth so who knows how long this is suppose to be in-universe (of course because it happened over 20 years ago, you would think such important scene would implemented as a flashback to help establish a bit of context. Hah, look at me expecting “context” to even be in the creators vocabulary.)
Geezo, beezo, which one of you is going to do 69?
Is…Mother Goose being interrogated?
@Hobbes Fan: By the Fairytale Bureau of Incompetence.
@2+2=7: Even Batiuk would do flashbacks for context.
Like when Funky reunited with his school-friend at the reunion who was now trans, and showed a early comic to remind us of who this character was.
(assuming Batiuk wasn’t just going retro and that this was actually a new character he retconned into the comic’s history)
@2+2=7: But then again, maybe Moy can’t show the older comics for legal reasons?
As perhaps she would need Joe Giella’s estates’ permission? Or maybe that June Brigman is under contract that only her art can be used? Or something like that.
Andy Capp: So, is “put it on the slate” in England, like “put it on my tab” in the U.S.? Did Andy Capp just teach me something?
MW: “In fact I just thought of something else from my miserable childhood.”
“That’s groovy, Dawn. Welp, gotta go.”
6C: “Butterflies that increase one hundredfold in size within seconds?” cried the Dog. “What madness be this?”
@GarrisonSkunk: As unlikely as it seems, yes.
MW-“I had help from friends.” Mary Jane, Lucy, and Crystal.
Six Chix, the comic strip that takes 6 people 1 hour each to conceive, write, and draw each week.
9CL: You mean drowning? Yeah, I wish you’d thought of it sooner, too.
C-Shaft: Harry was in therapy for a while, but the therapist got so bored with these extremely low grade epiphanies that he doubled his hourly rate.
DT: “I’m terminating our agreement, tomorrow. I need the extra panels to really make it stick.”
Dustin: Half of that time the grass would be dry and scrubby and for much of that time it would be covered in snow and ice, so yeah.
FC: Dolly’s ready to delete stars/states in droves. Obviously Alaska and Hawaii have to go, because they keep Arizona from being the youngest and cutest state. The Keanes don’t like being that close to California, so best it just drop off the continent and become its own thing. Don’t get her started on New Jersey.
GT: The official prom photographer has been deaf for years, and he’s loving it.
JP: Reena is so emotional here I’m pretty sure the first phrase she learned in Norwegian is their equivalent of “It’s five o clock somewhere.”
MT: Coming out of this gorilla shelter experience with a new woman he has to call Mom is more than Mark bargained for.
Phantom: Vindicta’s market research indicates that “buddy cops, except they’re terrorists for hire” is going to be the next big subgenre.
Phantom: Zoom out a little, Manley. At first glance, I thought Vindicta had grown a human nose.
“I am forcing you to work with a partner, Eric Sahara. Does that make you mad?”
”No mad.”
“Oh, for fuck’s sake.” (punches button on shock box six times hard)
@43 Tabby Lavalamp: on Six Chix: It’s not off-panel Wilbur. He’s busy in Japan right now, in his own hog heaven.
Rex Morgan: This storyline’s getting too sickly sweet; it needs Buck Wise’s pissyface to cut through the treacle.
@73 GarrisonSkunk: Yes. You learned something.
@77 JeffMcm: Um, I think you meant to say, Six Chix, the comic strip that takes 6 people 1 hour total to conceive, write, and draw each week.
Crankshaft-“My dad was the Willy Loman of big bands.”
@Ukulele Ike: That’s not what it looked like to me. My first impression was much more terrifying…
@Baja Gaijin: Now I’m visualizing the six of them getting together at a big round table for exactly sixty minutes a week, drinking a whole lot, and writing and drawing their strips simultaneously. “Ready….? GO!” If any work is unfinished at the bell, they go ahead and publish it anyway.
@85 Ukulele Ike: You know, that sounds plausible, based upon the actual published strips.
@Baja Gaijin: Extreme measures are needed. Unleash the manager!
@Liam:
Yeah, but he was BIG in Japan.
I read Big Nate’s about wrapped up. The paper I read is replacing it with Wallace the Brave. Can we also replace the seven or eight other comics that have been in perpetual reruns since 2012? I don’t mind reading a few (okay, a lot of) zombie strips in the paper as long as new installments are being produced more often than every Sunday, but I see a lot of genuinely funny webcomics online by relatively unknown artists and writers, and it’d be really nice to see an influx of new blood on the funny pages every 5-10 years.
Late Thread Cuisine: A hot weather refresher from Japan!
@Baja Gaijin: #81: You want a pissyface? Wait until the gentrification of Glenwood is complete and Rex finds out two scrambled eggs and a slice of toast at the local diner now costs 20 bucks. You’ll see the mother of all pissyfaces.
@Baja Gaijin: I just never know with these. It might be good, or it might have squid in it. I’ll have dish without too much squid in it, please.
@Guillermo el chiclero: Indeed, pissyfaces are Rex’s bread and butter. Buck’s trademark is a shot of him on the phone making awkward hand gestures where we can see up his nose.
@Liam: Mother Goose-“And my mother would tie me down to the bed.”
_____________________________________________________
“….which I later realized was a roasting pan.”
@92 Peanut Gallery: No squid, octopus, or other tentacley things. It’s shaved ice.
@93 The Quiet Man: Check out the penultimate panel for a Buck pissy face. I love this particular strip.
@Baja Gaijin:
Intrigued, what’s the topping, there?
@Baja Gaijin: Oh, that’s right, when Mud first showed up he was still on the meth. Fortunately the Mirakle method and the .2% phenobarbital in the local water supply have given him the calm, boring demeanor of the rest of Glenwood’s residents.
@96 A Grave Mind: The press release didn’t give a lot of details. Here’s the translation: “A dish that blends Japanese and Western flavors, featuring peaches, Japanese black tea, and cheese.” Peaches and cheese, to answer your question.
@Baja Gaijin: No kidding? It looked to me like a prawn sundae.
And I agree that Buck should join in here, maybe on cowbell. Missus Buck, Wanda, and Mae Mae could pass the alone time with a few hands of Fat Girl Pinochle.
@Baja Gaijin: Peaches and ricotta, peaches and marscapone would work. Peaches and Stilton, no.
None of my East Asian friends who grew up in East Asia consume any cheese at all. “What’s up with you Euros and your affection for solidified rotten milk?”
South Asians at least cook with it occasionally…see any delicious paneer curry. But no worthy oriental gentleman would sit down to a ploughman’s lunch or a Welsh rarebit.
@Ken: Plus I think he’s about a foot shorter. The Mirakle Method teaches you not to go around being taller than other people just to spite them!
@Horace Broon: I was not aware of the meaning of “staycation” as “anywhere within your home country.” According to Wikipedia, that meaning is common in the UK, Ireland, and Hong Kong, but it hasn’t caught on in the USA, where I am.
I tend to think of “staycation” as meaning “don’t leave home at all, not even for a day trip,” but that’s probably just my personal bias!
@UncleJeff: Johnny Depp IS Skeezix Wallet in “Fear And Loathing In Hootin Hollar”
@Baja Gaijin: @92 Peanut Gallery: No squid, octopus, or other tentacley things.

Sounds funnier in Wally Cox’s voice in the infamous “Underdog After Hours”
What A Frazzhole!: Do you suppose Mr and Mrs Olson talk about the idiot janitor who doesn’t know enough to come in out of the rain behind his back?
Mother Goose & Grim: That’s an “I fell off my dinosaur” joke…
@Die Rosenkavalieren: @GarrisonSkunk: As unlikely as it seems, yes.
