The buck stops there

Whether or not it’s an emergency depends on what kind of leak.

excuses, excuses, Earl

Is the toilet leaking or is Earl missing it again?

Earl’s a philosopher, not a plumber.

Toilet repair is a crappy job.

Smile! A backed-up toilet is A LOT worse!

So the “Always Find Someone To Blame” culture is all down to Earl?

I suspected it …

Better do it now before Opal calls someone and you have to pay through the nose for their work!

C’mon Earl, it’s a chance to show Puggsley how to fix a toilet. And an excuse to go to the hardware store. Maybe get an ice cream?

Should he really be fixing stuff at his age..??

Earl probably needs to go back to the cheerios…..

I did fix that leaky toilet, I locked the door, now go use the bush out back. Problem solved.

Oh and Opal, watch out for Hammie down the street.

The days when you stayed in your hometown, had a lifelong career and stayed married to your high school sweetheart are pretty much over.

Thank Goodness!

“Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off … him that pisseth against the wall,” 1 Kings 21:21 (KJV)

Maybe he has to sit down at this point, so can’t miss.

Who tried to fix it first, Earl?

Blame game 101

Previous conversation: Opal, what are you doing?Calling a plumber, The toilet is leaking.Hang up the phone, I will fix it.When?Today.

Today’s comic comes two months after the previous conversation. This is why I can fix toilets and have taught my daughter, too.

That kid is going to grow up with a great sense of humor!

He can hope it’s a supply-side issue

Your fault Earl for ignoring toilet.Hello all you may ignore, yet today strip reminded me of what I did when I fractured my hip past May. Went in July the damage I did not on purpose. I corrected that did better going to be a long healing time. Well today I did go back to orthopedic, I will state the x-ray table left side does have a cushion that hurt in pain bad laying down for lower hip in 3 places. There is no cast nor surgery. So far the Dr. liked what he saw. He stated I can place a lite pressure on leg, I asked for PT for home, he asked about driving I said no and I have bi-level with 8 steps that scares me bad, they have to order. I go back in 3 months. Meaning very small as a mustard grain seed of improvement, that fracture is still visible and broken takes 2 years for bone to heal. I still cannot bend my left knee. That is my update.

That seals the deal!

Maybe its not leaking. Could be Earl’s aim is off.
