"So often" is an understatement. I would be surprised if there were a single American whose W-2 were exactly right. Mah fellow 'mericans, speak up - have any of you ever had withholding that exactly agreed with your return?

One time, I had a tax return of precisely zero. It was nice - but I was fucking terrified that the IRS would find that suspicious and audit me, it's such an odd situation. :-D
Zebediah:
Comic’s up.
This round goes to Claire.
Gyrre:
Marten is right about "adulting" being terribly droll, though.
BTW, if you're credit is good enough, you might try starting an account with a reputable credit union instead of a bank. No hidden fees, and you don't have to worry about overdraft charges because they straight up won't let you overdraft.
BenRG:
Panels 3 and 4 in today's strip are both so funny because of the unseen 'inter-panel' that we only see by implications by looking at Marten and Claire's expressions in panel 4.
Marten looks so happy and free in panel 3 that I know he thought that he'd somehow bought off having to look at saving money (did he think that Claire only suggested it as revenge for him having a job she wanted?). So, when she still dragged him to the local S&L it was a profound and possibly traumatic surprise! Claire's expression tells me that the childish whining, begging and pleading that ensued as she dragged him through the door had pushed her right to the end of her tether.
* Marten's expression: "Meanie!"
* Claire's expression: "I am through being nice on this; twitch towards the door and I'm pinning you."In some ways it is reassuring that Marten and Claire are not two rigidly one-dimensional in terms of characterisation. They share the 'sensible one' and 'silly one' duties and that's a good sign in terms of the development Jeph is putting into them.
Tova:
The funeral service will be held tomorrow at 9:30 am.
