Is he supposed to be a goldfish, in which case the joke is that he probably won’t still be there by the end of the week?

Okay, but what does any of this have to do with Mother’s Day (other than the fact that this strip was originally published on Mother’s Day — if it hadn’t been, this would have been really random)?

I can see where Jeff would be especially upset that he had to run up all those stairs for a non-sale, but what he’s saying doesn’t really make sense to me. Am I missing something, or is this strip just a bit of a misfire?

Speaking of awkward, that dialog…
And is there any real joke here, or is this similar to Jeremy’s comment going over Connie’s head, indicated by his comment literally going over her head (I still think the hashtag thing should have had something to do with something there)?
And, y’know, 1987 called…

While Baldo occasionally makes some relevant reference to Cinco de Mayo, the holiday seems to exist (on the comics page) primarily as a vehicle for really awful puns (and I don’t mean “really awful puns” necessarily in a negative way).
Scott Hilburn has fired the first shot. If you spot anything worse, please send it to me at the usual address.

“Attorneys” would make this a divorce joke; but “accountants”? I guess you’d need accountants if you have a complicated financial situation, but wouldn’t that complicate the joke as well?
Or is this about something else entirely?
