Close to Home by John McPherson for September 15, 2020

Hopefully no one has tried this, yet!!

Once he realized what he needed to change about his fly-by-night operation.

Those flies must be really strong.

That only lasted until the offense developed the Fly Sweep.

One broken sack from the snack shack and the whole idea is grounded. It also explains the toad w/half a banner sticking out!

That’s a good idea. Wish I’d thought of that first.

Hmmm… I’ve heard of a fly by night business but not a fly by day.

Where’s Bleeb?

The town is abuzz with enthusiasm for Ed’s new business.

That’s one way to generate a buzz.

Crappy idea.

Well, it’s another 2010 rerun. McPherson might be on vacation all week… I hope he finishes my landscaping.

I guess we’ll just have to entertain ourselves again. So this circus clown, all decked-out in full clown regalia, walks into a bar and says to the bartender, “I REALLY need a job, do you have any openings?” The bartender shakes his head and says, “No, sorry, but why don’t you just try the circus?”The clown says, “Why would the circus need a bartender?”

This would be almost as bad as pop-up ads on web sites.

Don’t let the politicians know about this.

Where I live, it’s been decades since I can expect to see even a single fly in a given year. Probably not a good sign environmentally, but, for the present, greatly appreciated.

I love that he has a box of flies with a spigot on it. And that his coffee cup is straight below the spigot. Can you say “fly poo”!

Where can I hire a frog?

While waiting in a hospital waiting room yesterday I had a fly land on my pant-leg. Three loud swats from my book killed that varmint and got the attention of the other 20 folks sitting quietly with their phones in hand. When I went to brush the carcass off the huge paperclip I use as a bookmark flew off and skittered across the floor so I had to get up to retrieve it. “At least the fly’s dead, flies don’t belong in a hospital!” was all I could say.

I didn’t notice Ed’s banner attached though.

As if flies aren’t annoying enough……

“What’s the buzz? Tell me what’s happening.

Frogs are gonna LOVE these new ads

Would it be ironic for a fly to carry a banner for Raid?

“Waiter, there’s a fly in my advertising!”

PETA is gonna be all over this! :)

Great idea, but the motor would need to be the size of a murder hornet, no?

I’d be the guy that put out bug zappers next door.

Straighten up and fly right !! The dude came up with this season’s pet rock.

Put the zipper in back so you can have a fly by the seat of your pants
