NO MEAT!

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY:

1. Jesus tells a story about a landowner who's disappointed in his fig tree. The tree seems healthy, but it won't produce any fruit. He tells his gardener to chop the tree down so he can use the soil for more productive plants, but the merciful gardener asks for one more year to get the tree to become fruitful.

2. In this cartoon, the landowner complains about his tree not producing any figs, but the gardener explains that this is because it's an apple tree. This is quite silly.

3. The landowner then grumbles, "Well, that FIGures!" which is a phrase of annoyed resignation. He stresses the "fig" in "figures," because he really wanted a fig.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

This cartoon is yet another "Tomics Resurrection," where I take one of my old cartoons from the barren and fruitless past and nourish it for a new year. The original cartoon was drawn on paper because my first drawing tablet kicked the bucket, and it took around a week for me to replace it.

The owner of the land

[ride4thebrand]

I'm a little bit terrified...

I'm going to actually start contacting realtors about what I'm looking for.

That doesn't mean I'm locked in to anything by any means.

But it does make it more real.

A Guide To Funding Your First Property Purchase

Getting a mortgage is a big hurdle to overcome, and then there’s the deposit, which can be as high as 20%. Lenders are tightening up slightly, so getting pre-approval isn’t a given. However, if you and your partner are both in employment, have decent salaries, and have a good credit score, you can approach a mortgage broker. Here are a few funding options to consider.
