Ox ain’t as dumb as people think…

Looks like Ox is the smartest one in the group

At the moment, certainly the one most foresighted.

TJ, what you do is “conning”, what Ann Eiffel tried to do to Ox was cheating

Just get your stuff elsewhere.

recently i heard one wit describe the etch-a-sketch as the ipad of the ’60’s

Time for Knute to show up and have the idea that works. After they get the goods on her, AE finally promotes TJ. Another step up on the ladder of this long arc at WW.We’re in no hurry to lose AE.

They simply need Ann’s boss to show up unexpectedly…or a new person just promoted and in charge of the performance of existing store branches…to come in and catch AE cheating several of the customers. For some reason, Ann knows TJ is trying to set her up and doesn’t seem to be concerned. She must be planning a major confrontation between TJ and upper management. Perhaps she’ll make it look as if TJ is the guilty person. She knows all the dirty tricks, I’m sure!

TJ might be a bit of a genius when it comes to reading people, but even genius has limits when you have a limited tool selection.

I can’t wait until we’re rid of AE!!!

Three Stooges.Actually, from left to right hairstyles are Larry, Moe, Curly.Mordock, I’m waiting for coffee!

If brains were money, Tiffany couldn’t afford a cup of coffee

Maybe Oxford will come up with a workable plan. Or, more likely, Ann Eiffel will shoot herself in the foot (metaphorically speaking) somehow….

Anyone who keeps cheating at the register is most likely dumb enough to cheat at the books. In the end, the corporate guys will nail her for her books being out of balance. Math question: 50 lbs of mystery makes x lbs of sale able food, minus expected loss. Yet books show too much profit. What is the expected profit to jail time ratio?

Sheesh T.J., if you needed a smart plan you should have said so from the beginning. But now that it’s cleared up, I’m sure Tiffany will come through! Stand back Ox, if you can’t help, don’t get in Tiff’s way!Interesting Tiff doesn’t think twice of tossing away a 50 on a scheme. I always wondered if she had rich parents who spoiled her rotten, or very poor parents that resulted in her obsession with being a material girl. Hopefully Mr. Evans will release a Tiffany themed strip collection book soon:)

Is it just me or is Ox’s IQ rising with each passing day? I do believe he has just surpassed Tiff…TJ tomorrow?

Wellllllll, I GUESS We established Today WHO the DUMBEST one in THIS Strip Is!

Ox needs to call his lawyer uncle and his dad.

Every one trying to decipher the great plan of the author. Seems to me this week has been nothing but quick one liners. Maybe it really isn’t a long complicated arc and he will come back to it at a later time.

Boker Tov. It is now very scary that Ox becomes the one with the brains!

TJ is just way too obvious and that’s why Ann is on to them. He needs to do it on the DL.

But… cheating customers is exactly what TJ did the entire time he was working at the counter. Suddenly he cares?

Oh, Yeah – Now I remember. They’re the “A-Team” And TJ is Hannibal Smith. “I love it when a plan comes together.”

Larry, meet Moe and Curly…

Ah, at least Ox knows himself and is honest about himself. Can’t say the same for TJ or Tiffany. Too egocentric and self-absorbed.

The Mod Squad struggles with their most challenging case.

To Alain Harper: Gut geschreiben,,Kind.

Bernice’s brother Ben could be recruited.

Ox reminds me a bit too much of Moose from the Archie strips.

I bet it would work if Brad were the customer. Ann Eiffel knows that Brad is putty in her hands and would trust that he wouldn’t be in on TJ’s scheme to reveal her dealings. All the others she knows are allies of TJ, and immune to her wiles.

Geez… Ox is blunt

I thought this was “Sheraton St. Louis” we’re talking about?
