After 50 years or so Earl should feel lucky he has someone else who sweeps the floor daily and appreciate it. Maybe even thank her for keeping the house nice once in a while, especially after he spilled motor oil on the carpeting and didn’t clean it up.
The cartoonist must lead a sad life if he puts out work that is basically a woman insulting her husband 5 or 6 days out of 7. Most days this is just dripping with venom.
My dad used to sing a song, I’m guessing from the 30s or 40s. Basically keep busy and keep your mind off your trouble.If your feeling sad and tired of being blueGet yourself a new broom and this is what you doStart sweeping around, sweep around the roomTo the boogie rhythm of the new broomSweep, sweep, keep a sweeping JackThere’s a blue sky beneath those clouds of blackSo sweep, sweep, sweep away the gloomTo the boogie rhythm of the new broom

Earl? You may need your glasses checked… Or maybe you’ve never been able to see a floor needs sweeping ‘cause you’re a male.

We have a fuzzy dog, the floor always needs sweeping…even when we just finished sweeping.

A floor rarely looks like it needs sweeping. If it does, you haven’t been sweeping often enough.

Earl should buy a robotic sweeper like Roombot. At least he’d get some respect! (in my best imitation of Rodney Dangerfield)

It may just be time to sweep. There may be stuff being swept, even if you can’t see it from a standing position.
