Bertie, Edbert, Dilbert, Ratbert, Catbert, Dogbert they’re all geeky names, with the last four coming from another strip. But geeky can be cool.
That last jab, er, comment is concerning. Who’s ever heard of a family business demanding long work hours for occaisonal pay from family employees? Yeh, like everybody. Well, it doesn’t look like Mouse has any other options on the table and a family business will keep him in familiar and comfortable free housing with familiar and comforting free food. Well, unless his paychecks will have a room and board deduction.
Ah, the more things change, the more they stay the same (French proverb). The arts and craft store will be a magnet for the Art-o-rama gang, Mouse will be able to see more of Randie and perhaps Grace as well.
Pete… my condolences to your son. Magazines? Art projects? painting? video games?
Chase… ah… you’ll have to just see.
stick… the Art-o-rama Mamas will certainly have a new hang-out.
Family business… if Mouse’s college fund is being used, that makes him a full on partner… non? As for his rent at Mom’s … well… I’m sure there is none.
If it’s a ‘family business’ and he’s not getting paid a regular salary, he needs to demand a set share of the profits, so that when/if business takes off, he’ll be compensated for his sacrifice now.
I’ve been in mouse’ situation before. lets hope for a good outcome in this situation. This would be a definite Art-o-Rama mama hangout. It would be even better if Randie worked there. ( employee discount )
There was a family feud on my mother’s side of the family stemming from the joint ownership of a house. A business — it’s wise to draw up agreements on the principle that everyone’s going to suffer brain damage tomorrow and become a total self-absorbed cheat.
By proxy, one of my best friends ended up in this situation, and no matter how well the store did, there never seemed to be enough left over to give him a regular paycheck.
Our 23-year old son is there now and it’s driving him nuts.
And they could hire Randie! Right? RIGHT??

Walk away, Mouse. Walk away.
Just a hunch.
chug… speaking from experience?
Beetle… indeed (modified paraphrase from Old English)
Squid Guy… really… pray tell what was this business?
Yat… oh, you think this isn’t a good business venture? speaking from experience?
Mouse is not walking away. He knows how bread gets buttered.
There was a family feud on my mother’s side of the family stemming from the joint ownership of a house. A business — it’s wise to draw up agreements on the principle that everyone’s going to suffer brain damage tomorrow and become a total self-absorbed cheat.
They could call it “Bertie’s”.
By proxy, one of my best friends ended up in this situation, and no matter how well the store did, there never seemed to be enough left over to give him a regular paycheck.
Buisness?
