The has been a rough week, but no excuses. But, sorry for the delay in the strip. Better late than never comes to mind.
Anyway, my son is really into fishing lately and I have seen him cutting up enough worms over the summer. I remember growing up picking night crawlers for fishing. My brother thought at one point, he would have a worm business.lol. Anyway, it is nice to see my son doing something like fishing. I think he found his own little “zen” like thing to do. Mine is comics.

so glad to see you back – need my fix! Quality stuff as ever
Phil should have suspected something fishy was up when chuck insisted on looking after the bait!
Poor silly little Phil!
