There’s only so much a house can do. The title is borrowed, with great affection, from George Carlin’s comedy album of the same name. As he pointed out, if we didn’t have so much stuff, we wouldn’t need a house.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

This strip is my first open admission that I’ve borrowed a bit of Time Lord technology for backstory. In the interviews with the characters, we discover that the house originally had only four bedrooms, until Ophelia joined the group. There[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Tests of faith are always difficult. Personally, I’d rather have Lightfoot believe in me, since I’d like to believe in whatever his library statues are telling him; at least it would make things interesting. Theo’s experience, though, was more than[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It’s always good to know that your friends will always be there to back you up, in times of doubt. At least they all agree on one aspect of Theo’s story! Our tiger is going to have quite a time[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Dress Down Day
When Friday rolls around for you, on any given week, you might give some thought to Lightfoot’s question. It does give rise to new interpretations of terms like “loose fit” and “easy care.” Naturally, I’m talking about clothing here. Anything[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The Law of the Jingle
When in doubt, follow your jingle. I don’t think Popeye’s, Sara Lee, or Dunkin Donuts will mind the free advertising, although I only purchase one with any regularity. (Sorry, no points for guessing which one; I don’t want to jinx[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
