Close to Home by John McPherson for August 05, 2021

So Bleeb is clear today, and Mr Zerg is hoping for his participation trophy to pay off. Hahaha, good luck Mr Zerg!

He was 16 when he was in 6th grade and dropped out of school before junior high, and this is his first application.

How come Bleeb is transparent?

But he had a machine gun!! Somehow, I don’t think that Funky Winkerbean thing would fly today!!

No, you’re not.

How’d he even get an interview?

Find a job with a dental plan Mr. Zerg !

Wait a minute! Does today’s strip mean that all my years as a Hall Monitor were for nothing! All that time spent alone in the hallways, instead of working on my Englishing skills, and learning how to vocabularyize my words.

Well, I’m nothing if not resiligent, and I’ll eventually have my satisfucation.

WOW!… that’s a lot of red lines on spell check… I think I get now why I was in the hall so much.

In some schools hall monitor was a dangerous job.

That’s strange – in my experience, “sixth grade hall monitor” would be a highlight of most upper management resumés…

That’s a nice picture of my sister that you have on your desk.

Where does he get these toothy characters?

With a name like Zerg I’d say he’s perfect for the job

Mr. Zerg is the perfect candidate for the Republican 2024 presidential campaign.

But that was his greatest achievement, it’s been all downhill from there.

He just needs to put your company’s name on his list so he can still get unemployment…..

Does the research company look into alternative dentistry?

The United Colors of Bleebetton continues, I see.

What do mean more recent, I just graduated 6th grade last week.

Mr. Zerg could qualify for the “Before” in a “Before and After” ad for cosmetic dental surgery.
