Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for August 06, 2009

I think Dad has tactile defensiveness.

I used to get most of my clothes from my older cousins who lived right across the street. I loved it, because I looked up to those guys so much and the clothes weren’t hard and stiff.

Kids in my generation were happy just to have clothes. Now the fashion thing is out of control with my grandkids.

I had an older sister. My hand-me-downs got me into more fights….

Unfortunately, I was the oldest, so I got new. I was also a head taller than my little brother, so he never got my clothes. I do remember in 5th grade, wearing my step-dad’s shoes to school accidentally, though.

BIG kid.

Yep, been there, done that.

i’m lucky, i get hand me downs from my son when he outgrows them

I got hand-me-downs from a cousin (I was the oldest in my immediate family). I wasn’t thrilled because we had somewhat different taste in clothes. But what can you do?

Nick used to be cute, even Adam looked better than he does now. This used to be one of my favorites but I’m kind of sad about the downhill slide of the artwork… guess it’s time to move on. Sorry to complain but am a bit disappointed in the strip nowdays.
