Given the 2 week “cooling off” period, this was drawn just after New Years. I think Wiley was still “recovering”. That said, if that were me, I’d hurry off the ice
sub-prime fishing, eh!?! What happens in the end? Does all the ice melt and all the fishermen die, the govt bails out the fish and we end up eating spinach!?!
This is NOT your typical ice fisherman. They now have a shelter, heater, entertainment, alcohol and if you can find one as dumb as you; female companionship. You know; for someone to talk to in the lull between fish fighting.

That fish has a lot to learn. The best bait would be a can of beer.

I’m not quite sure how the hook will work, but he appears to be smiling. Wish there were a couple more panels here.

Wiley is always good for a chuckle, a laugh, and sometimes a belly-laugh!

yet, another conservative economic theory, i.e., cutting out the middle man gets you a bigger fish.

Here in MN, all my ice fishing friends are too fat to go through the hole.

Ooh, ooh, that will work in DC.
I’m tempted to crowdsource a fund to buy a Congressman and then set him loose in the wild to see if he can survive.

Reminds me of an Aerosmith video that ends with a disturbingly graphic gag of Steven getting caught on a hook baited with a sandwich.

Perhaps that’s the other end of his own line, re-baited by the fish. A jerk on one end of a line, waiting for a jerk on the other…

Just remember, when fishing for lawyers, it’s illegal to call out ‘whiplash’ as an attractant. Cash is still legal.

I’m sure a beer would work better. Since it’s winter a bottle of whiskey may be the best bait.

I warned people not to throw those fruitcakes into the lake, but did they listen? Now, those piles of nuts and candied fruit have mutated.

A cash card might be better bait since it’s value would not evident.
