Mother Goose and Grimm by Mike Peters for March 15, 2025

I could be both — broke because he has spent all of his money on someone he thinks he loves.

She broke him…

out of the dog house and into the poor house

She’s so fine, there’s no tellin’ where the money went. Simply irresistible.

Sleeping doesn’t cost anything, the trash cans behind the restaurants are free and the toilet bowl has plenty of water Grimmy.

For odd reasons… I collect cliches.

Two that seem to fit for the strip is… Dirt Poor and P!ss Poor.

Dirt Poor is being so poor that you can’t afford flooring in your home. It is only dirt.

At one time you could sell your p!ss to a tanner of leather. But only the poor did that. They would take their chamber pot(s) down and come back with money. There is another cliche… “So poor they don’t have a pot to p!ss in.” Hopefully Grimm isn’t that poor!

Obligatory “comic strip code” female dog as a Poodle.

What does it cost you to sleep?

Spring is here, and it is time to trim the poodle’s winter coat. I will have a 5 gallon bucket of poodle wool.
