Close to Home by John McPherson for March 29, 2019

According to the Guiness Book of World Records, the most recession-proof business is a funeral home.

Carnac was right! He said this would be a good business. (Sad Ed didn’t really invest in something as reliable.)

Add tax preparation and you’ll be certain.

From the cradle to the grave right there.

When you get wiped out that’s where you’ll go.

Looks like business is dead to me.

This guy has you covered when you’re going and when you’re gone.

That covers it.

What, no live bait and cold beer to go?

Guy who did the stone for my parents had a slight drug problem. I never got billed before he went out of business. Who said drug use is bad?

Now, you just need a liquor license…and maybe cigarettes.

There are always people dying and people pooping.

I always wondered why “preppers” are focused on food and ammo but not toilet paper – it will be worth more than gold in an apocalypse!

I seem to remember that during the Great Recession that one of the indicators of the economic improvement was how much TP people were buying and how much ply it was. When the economy gets rough, apparently people stop buying the 2 and 3 ply, and start buying 1 ply – AKA: Sandpaper for your arse.

It doesn’t make economic sense to buy single ply TP; You have to fold it double or triple and therefore use it 3 times as fast. That will negate any savings.

Another BB Era comic :-(John needs to invent time travel for Bleeb. Maybe “paste” him in ;-)

Now that’s diversifying your business.

Interesting combination!

He should also sell scissors then could call his store ‘Rashambo’.
