- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

After a lifetime of working you’d think you’d be entitled to something as minor as a pool table.
I got told by an uncle that I'm "not entitled to anything" after I asked "aren't I as entitled as anyone else to a midlife crisis?"
He was busting my balls because I was wearing earrings...
I'm definitely the weirdo in my family...
And yes.. I have strange conversations regularly
Depends on the context. If that guy lives with other people, imagine wanting to buying a massive thing that occupies a ton of space and stating that as a need over inconveniencing everyone else who lives there, and then barely touching it more than once every few months after the first few weeks of buying it. This is what happened to a friend of mine but replace pool table with a beater car (they already have 2 cars).
After a lifetime of unpaid labor you'd think some spouses are entitled to something as minor as having some input on major purchases when money is tight.
Sounds like he needs better roommates with a knack for billiards
That's this wife, not just a roommate.
Someone who marries someone that irresponsible is also irresponsible. Those behaviors don't come out of nowhere unless its truly just a one time thing.
Yo, it's just a comic strip.
Calm down it's just a comment.
HEY! Don't freak out, it was just a reply!
You mean you don't like analysing media and using it as a jumping off point for discussion? Wow, you're boring
I don't understand why more domestic pool tables don't have a removable top that lets it serve as a dining table or other table functions. Sounds easy and obvious.
Because pool tables are fucking heavy and the structure required to support them precludes getting your legs underneath them when sitting in a dining chair. They make great tables if you're willing to sit sideways and eat.
Otherwise they're only good for stacking shit on top of, which of course precludes actually playing pool on them.
I have a pool table downstairs. It ostensibly doubles as my kids art table (it has a top and cover). It is currently covered in crap.
We did use it as a dining table when my wife was recovering from surgery and couldn't really make it upstairs. It was very awkward and uncomfortable, but it worked.
I'm assuming that would be because mostly people with lots of money and room would buy them.
