I’ve mentioned before that I make all the Phone Guys I can in one big batch and then I schedule them months ahead of time. Right now it is early April and I am scheduling this one. I don’t get it. I don’t even remember what I was trying for. Is it supposed to be funny because Pete described his nearness to death? Is it because we should all want to avoid preventable mistakes whether we’re old or not? I want it known that I had months of time in which I could have fixed this and replaced it with something better. But I didn’t. Because here at PDR’s Phone Guys Entertainment Industries we are committed only to bringing you Phone Guys in its pure, undiluted stupidest form. It may not be a good comic, but it is true to what Phone Guys has always been: something dumb that takes up space on this site.
Myrtle developed an extensive menu of baked goods and candies, though she’d had to use store-bought honey. Adam’s bees had not yet had the time to make a crop of their own.
October ran the shop’s website. She also ordered a number of bee-themed knickknacks, applied price tags, and arranged them on a shelf facing the window. “Might draw in tourists,” she said.
Dante refused to play along with the business that he considered a “front” for their real mission until Adam put him in charge of security. He made Clint his second-in-command and began training him to fight better.
I feel like this is more the sort of thing I would be expected to post on “Social Media Platforms” but I thought, hey, I have a website for a reason, so here is the announcement: Today I got my second dose of the Covid vaccine. I understand it takes a fortnight or so to get to it
Haiku!
It’s a pandemic!
Viruses versus the world!
Which side are you on?
I gotta admit, when this whole thing started, I didn’t think it was realistic that we’d see a vaccine before 2022 at the earliest. Sure, this was based more on my own pessimism than any real knowledge of how anything works, but I am genuinely impressed by how quickly they managed it. I assume the fact we need to get two shots in this staggered manner is part of the reason they were able to do it. Well, it sucks that I had to be awake in the daytime not once but twice for all this, but it’s over now and feels worth it.
For posterity, I feel like I should note that my first shot was on May 27th. Just in case the historians using this site to piece together the details of my life need that information.
Adam’s Extra-Fancy Honey Shop opened two months later.
The neighbourhood got little foot traffic, so customers were few. When Adam first heard the bell announcing someone coming in, he went downstairs to find security guard Devon DeWitt, trying to force cash into the register.
“Been giving me free muffins for weeks,” Devon said. “Now that you’re officially open, you oughtta let me pay for this.”
Before Gladys, who was working behind the counter, could argue, Adam said “No charge, friend. You protect our neighbourhood, you deserve muffins.”
“How do you expect to stay in business like this?”
“We shall manage.”
