Sick Call
That’s what happens when you overdo it on Halloween! (She’s making it a habit!) I can only imagine what Grace did that inspired her to call in sick… ?

Maybe Grace was handing out candy?
“Here’s one for you and one for me. One for you and one for me. One for you…etc”
Went through less than two big bags of fun size candy bars and little bags of M&Ms.
Gave still more away at the local watering hole. That leaves me with two full bags of fun size 3 Musketeers and Milkyway. And some Whoppers I set aside for my self. Just to keep little kids from choking on them. Gotta watch out for those little tykes. Right?
I’m guessing Grace called in sick just because other people would make up an excuse for her and assume she was sick from Halloween candy, when in fact she’s just fine and wanted only to sleep in late.
And inconvenience others.
If Grace was giving out candy, she’d be trying to peg kids with it from the door. Grace is pretty schmucky…. I wouldn’t put it past her to just call in sick because she didn’t feel like working. My guess is that she went out with her group of no-gooders, smashed pumpkins, threw eggs at people, drank a bit much, and fell asleep at Rat’s house… and just decided not to go to work.
Joe… you ain’t gonna eat all that, are ya? We have mostly mini dum dums left.
At least it’s work without Grace, and that can’t be too bad, right? Nothing a little ibuprofen won’t fix.
Brig,
Sending you a virtual bag of Whoppers!
Don’t eat them all in one place.
Oh… I won’t be able to stop, Joe! They are just so… “pop in your mouth-able.”
Meggie… that’s looking at the bright side, ain’t it! That should’a been in the last panel as a Randie afterthought.
I have to say that I was disappointed by Whoppers. I thought they were going to be like the UK’s Maltesers, but the coating just tasted wrong: overly sweet, and nothing like chocolate at all. In fact, I disliked them so much that I threw the remainder away 🙁
And who’s Rat?
Stand up for yourself! Don’t let evil win!
…well, don’t let the GREATER evil win.
Rat is Grace’s boyfriend (if you can believe that such can exist). He showed up in the strip only once or twice, I think. His nickname derives from his physiognomy.
Ha! Dada… standing up for what is… evil… I would expect nothing less… or more.
Whoppers. My dad would buy these for Halloween… and then he’d heat the whole carton (they come in a milk carton).
I agree, Astragali, that the chocolate tastes different here in the US. We add so much filler and junk that the “chocolateness” is diluted. See’s Candies (here in the west) is a FINE candy company… and I highly recommend their tastey treats! Better ingredients.
As for Rat… see here.
