Tax ‘n’ Vax Day

I have been informed that my 2020 taxes are done. Having prepared my own returns since I was 16, I am for the first time ever using an accounting firm for my personal taxes.

Beckle contemplates why he needs to do his taxes, but life in cartoon land is no different than it is in real life.

The time seemed right to let someone else prepare my returns, after a good experience with a CPA in Arizona, who handled the Trust taxes after my father died. Combined with some bad experiences with Intuit, the parent of TurboTax.

Today I will be getting a shot in the arm, by invitation of Massachusetts General Hospital. AFAIK it will be the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

Carlyle the Obscure

In recognition of the 25th anniversary of the final Calvin & Hobbes comic strip on December 31, here’s another Carlyle & Hobson parody I drew 30 years ago. Some of them I rendered carefully, others not, as you can see.

I first thought about imitating MacCaulay Culkin’s famous poster pose from the movie, but decided against it. Nobody was ever going to see this anyway, but I guess I was wrong about that.
