Artie i’ll bet even money you didn’t try to start it.

Did you notice that the grass grew at least two to three inches higher in the last panel?

That’s the problem with electric mowers, can’t use that excuse except if they die.

“Did you put gas in it?”

[Grumble! Grumble!]

Try again tomorrow!

Umm. your neighbors, it’s a low fence.

He couldn’t get started to get the mower started.

Before I moved overseas I lived in a cottage on a 5,000sf lot, most of it grass. Used a power mower until the marine air from the coast rusted and broke off one of the wheels. Chucked it, bought a reel mower and absolutely loved it: Much lighter, more mobile, no worries about buying gas and good exercise with a purpose attached to it.

I live in a condo now so no lawn to mow but I’d have been fine shipping the mower over if I could use it.
