Yeah, Patty, use Burl’s list of excuses that he uses at HIS place of employment. That’s sure to go over big. BTW, looks like we’ve got some missing finials again.
Good advice, guys. Burl’s got a PhD in malingering.I see Joy is back to smelling old milk again; I guess Burl is over his latest “upset” so’s she can’t get high smelling his….
I would expect these clowns to have a “Calliope Music” CD at their house. Maybe they play it to offer homage to their “Clown” painting. It goes along with Joy’s makeup and fashion sense also. Hey, maybe this lot were actually clowns that got thrown out of a Circus for NOT acting?
Foot canal? I never heard of that one. Maybe Patty ran out of sick days because of her foot pain. She never mentioned that idea. Another round of brain bleach please!
@gmforde I thought the same thing-the lettering is bad, but it is ‘Root’. I’ve had to have root canals and other minor medical tests and have always been allowed a sick day. I generally informed my supervisor about the time off when I made the appointment and would hand in my time off request. Since most places have replaced sick leave with personal time, I would schedule personal time. Never had a bit of trouble using it.
Yes, as Patty has surely told someone at her office of medical work, they will not be suspicious in the least if her car or alarm clock fails he tomorrow (especially if she announces that it WILL happen).
If Patty has used up all her sick days, maybe she is a chip off the ol’ Burl after all. And I notice Dottie’s Discount Duds had a Valentine’s sale as evidenced by Joys blouse. No Ding Dongs or HO Ho’s, they are reduced to eating little tiny cookies, oh the horror!

The very sad thing about this strip is that I nave been privy to this sort of lameness. Non-regional. People are people, no matter where they live.
