For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 02, 2018

those specialty ratchet straps weren’t around yet, were they?

A provision of the Ontario vehicle code which seems relevant:

“No person shall operate or permit to be operated upon a highway a motor vehicle that carries a load or draws a vehicle that carries a load unless the load is loaded, bound, secured, contained or covered so that no portion of the load may become dislodged or fall, leak, spill or blow from the vehicle. 2002, c. 18, Sched. P, s. 26.”

I don’t think covering the vehicle load with one’s wife counts as securing it.

Well, Georgia, you whined and complained. Phil sure put you in your place. He showed you how you could protect your precious things.

There has to be a better way. One (minor) bump and …

Gives a new meaning to Geo Caching

That’s how it is in a lot of places. If you point out a problem or a concern then it becomes your responsibility.

I don’t care how far the ride is, that is dangerous

The gag is TOO over the top to be funny.

Well there are other ways:

I’ve done THAT! hahahaha

Phil is no rocket scientist, that is for sure.

A former manger told of the time he was helping a college friend move a console piano in a pickup truck. In one turn the truck leaned ominously, then snapped upright, followed immediately by a Crash!! Sproing!!

Best place for her !

You just HAD to say that, huh?X’D But you have to imagine that a guy like Phil would have a few dozen bungy cords lying around!

It is a humorous panel though.

We hired a piano mover to move our piano, since we wanted it safe and sound in our new place….

Looking at the last panel reminds me of how many time I’ve seen a farmer “collecting” young kids to de-tassel corn, and all of them were bunched together at the back of the truck…. Some boys would try to be “manly” and they kept standing, just barely, as the farmer was driving… I don’t know if they still do that.

I moved a refrigerator once and it received a small crease in the freezer compartment door, I blamed it on my wife’s poor supervision.

Funny, funny, funny, funny! Great gag and outstanding art (As usual) to drive the point home.

They look like the Joad family coming into the migrant camp in Salinas. 1936….

Yes, that is stupid. No one in their right mind would leave a lamp sitting on the stand! It could fall off! lol

Is Phil a Jew?

Wait until it starts to rain!

It hasn’t been legal to ride in the back of a pick-up in California since I was a teen, unless it has seats and belts back there (like the Subaru Brat). Too many gruesome roll-over and/or thrown-from-vehicle accidents. Some states still allow it though.
