This seems awfully familiar . . . isn't this just a rehash of the his May 4 idea?

Moose, there are two "punchlines".

The primary one is that there isn't a punchline beyond just being a cheap pun. It's a joke based off of "Too Soon":

It really is only funny because it is Asok saying it, and even then, it's only really funny as you could almost replace him with Wally for this strip.

Bitterly sweet and funny if you're not the one losing their home. OK, very funny. As to "Moose", the punch line is that it is very much too soon to have someone profit at a "next to nothing" discount as the bank hasn't even yet foreclosed. Maybe after a year or two the pain wouldn't be quite as acute.

I love the set-up, but I'm missing the punch line.

personally funny as I just bought a house for cash for 60% of the asking price after renting for 5 years.
Would it be wrong to leave this strip on the fridge during the walkthrough next week?
