One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for October 07, 2019

I’d have done it long ago!

They can’t run away from comic-land. There’s no getting past the lines of the last panel! ;-)

Busted! Gotta hide it better!

Don’t worry, Ruthie. If they ran away it would be from Joe, in which case they would take you with them!

We wouldn’t do that. If we did the police would arrest us and you would be taken away to a foster home.

Ruthie’s a true Southerner!

Wait a few years, Ruthie…and see if you feel the same way…

Just wait until Ruthie is old enough to go to an overnight camp and one of the campers suggest her parents moved while she was away. What fun. (I had to make my parents promise me they would still be there when I got back).

Aw

poor Ruthie, what a horrible thought for a child to have

Ruthie your parent’s or mom would never run off from you, do not worry.

Ahhh Ruthie…..

When the youngest kid turns 21, your parents will sell the house and move into a 2 bedroom condo. You will have 2 weeks to clean out your bedrooms. Take whatever you want to keep with you, and whatever doesn’t sell in the yard sale will go in the dumpster. At least that’s what my parents said to us.

Oh Ruthie – that you could only stay cute and innocent.
