Dristvaan’s solution has the additional advantage that all the condolence comments will be attached to the notice page, clearing the way for all the nitpickers to comment about the actual strip. To wit:
1) Heartfelt condolences with regard to your girl’s illness. Hope she recovers soon (they always do, but not before they pass the bug to the parents, who end up having a two-week version of the infection that the kid got rid of in 48 hours).
2) The third panel has one “S” too many (snowblower should be singlular).
Ironically, When I saw that there was no strip for Monday, I assumed it was because you had too much fun at the Superbowl party. The reason so many people call in sick on the monday after Superbowl Sunday is because they are too drunk or hungover from the party.
Growing up in northern Canada with a father who said âreal men shovel their own drivewayâ I always sneered at snowblowers. Fast forward 40 years, busted knees and a bad back, and my father-in-law gave me his this past fall when he moved into a retirement home. Now Iâm âSnowblower Man -Smiter of Snowdrifts!â
I love this thing like a third child when I tear up the windrow the snowplow pushes up at the end of the driveway. Iâve been falling prey to that worst of impulses, doing the neighbourâs driveways for them. âNever fear! Snowblower Man is here!â
My husband and I got a new house and it has a huge driveway. Shoveling worked until we got dumped on with a foot and a half of wet, heavy snow. After spending three hours on the driveway, we broke down and got a snowblower. Best decision ever! Snow drifts now fear my whirling auger of death!
Judging by the fact that there is still no new strip for today, 02/07, I assume the baby’s still sick and uses up the sleep time of both of you?
Or are you now affected by the sickness like Kilby foretold? đ
Late strip is better than no strip at all, and it’s funny as usual, so it was worth the wait. LOL shovel-wielding Tuskan raiders :P.
As a side note, if you just put up a post saying “no strip today, baby’s sick”, as far as I know your audience, I’m quite certain we will understand.

Or the third panel has one apostrophe too few (snowblower’s should be possessive).
Thus endeth today’s koan.
“my wife and I got no sleep.” Then you should have had enough time to draw the strip, no? đ /SCNR
j/k, hope your kid feels better soon
Gaffi shovel be the nuts guts. Also, nice flash back of ye olden days in panel one. Thanks and GL with your kid!

Here in Virginia, the snow never gets deep enough to justify a snow blower.
I read âBlown out of proportionâ and âbaby was sickâ so I immediately thought this would be a strip about poopy diaper shenanigans.
You know what, he really hasnt done that many comic strips about diapers.
Is that snowblower blowing smoke rings?
Isn’t that awesome? Who wouldn’t want one of those?
Why smoke? What would it be burning to produce smoke?
I assumed snow rings – doughnuts – bagels – snow bagels ……

Snowblowers and leafblowers are the stupidest inventions ever
