July 15 2018 That is priceless wearing white

Honestly, I’m not sure whether Mr. Melcher first posted this after Labor Day — if that’s relevant to the joke.

“Perverse Anti-Scrooge”

scrooge

So… that would mean “embracing Christmas but the wrong reason”?

By the way, retail stores do have to start thinking about Christmas this early: Stuart’s not talking about setting up Santa-and-reindeer displays.

worms cornered baldwin

Not a CIDU as much as a question: $9 for a dozen worms? Is that accurate? Before I saw the caption, I thought the high price of the worms was going to be the joke: maybe they attract fish by dressing in drag and doing the hula?

underwear

Okay, but… wasn’t this really Janis’s decision? There doesn’t seem to be any age-related reason for her to be wearing undergarments she doesn’t like.

If anybody should have a complaint here, it should be Arlo.

This reminds me of “If I get a bologna sandwich in my lunchbox one more time, I’m going to jump.”
