do i even need to ask?

Hey, even dusting can be a pain. I should know…

tennis elbow? no, I think Jon got feather duster elbow

Jon just got a dust-cut ?

Is that even possible ?

I’d hate to see Jon’s hospital bills, with all his DIY disasters, YIKES.

Only Jon could be attacked by a dust bunny.

Only Jon can manage the impossible.

When it comes to Jon, Murphy really was an optimist.

When dust began to fight back and develop a mind of its own, you KNOW you’ve waited too long. Weren’t these divers fridge cleaning incidents lesson enough, Jon?

It wouldn’t kill ya but why take the chance?

I dusted once but it came back. It ain’t gonna fool me again!

Dust bunnies. Very dangerous.

hey, dust in the eyes HURTS

Dust Bunny?

A̶n̶o̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶b̶i̶t̶e̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶d̶u̶s̶t̶

Jon is a… yeah I can’t explain him.

I would have hated to see what would have happened if Liz had said “It wouldn’t kill you to dust around here”…

Well, about that, Liz was totally wrong – it DID hurt him!

Liz, Liz, Liz… you KNOW not to set Jon up like that…

Only Jon…

those dust bunnys can be savage

I don’t dust or vacuum around the house because I use the wrong vacuum.

Jon probably slipped on the Swiffer™

How in the world did you get hurt DUSTING, Jon?!? Did you hit yourself with the feather duster? eyeroll

how did he manage to hurt himself with a duster (unless it is made of porcupine quills)

Dust doesn’t hurt you, it sticks to you a bit

NEVER BET with Jon…

I don’t even wanna know…

Even a feather duster can be dangerous in the hands of Jon Arbuckle.

For once, Liz was WRONG

Jon was hoping she would do it for him, maybe.

its better to be safe

The duster wins this one…

Oh he got tangled in the cat, hair and fell. It is that shedding time of year. Now do I have any volunteers to brush my cat?

“it wouldn’t hurt you to dust around here”….and Jon proves Liz wrong. :-)

He left himself in the dust…

( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

Next time, Jon, turn off the fan before you dust it.

Jon was never this incompetent in the earlier strips. Sure he did slip up a few times, but at least not to this extent. But now it’s gotten to the point that he can’t do any simple tasks around the house without suffering some kind of unforeseen injury.

Jon must’ve gotten a cut from the feather duster

Been there; done that. My clumsiness is well known. Last month my leg became infected after I collided with a piece of furniture, and I had to go to the ER…and that’s the second time I have done that (same leg; different furniture).

Dust bunnies can be very vicious……

Oops, I was looking for McKinley Boulevard and ended up on 20th and Garfield Avenue.

Milwaukee has a lot of dust mite collisions that don’t leave trade marks behind.

Apparently, Liz needs to supervise Jon’s dusting method.

And no one is surprised…

Jon is dusted and disgusted

Jon must have suffered a dust-mite injury knowing how clumsy he is. He may be allergic to dust mites like I am. #dustprobs :)

what if he get hurt 5 times

So much for that snarky comment

Sigh……….

How can you get a dust injury?
