Actually, this is not late here in Michigan. It is illegal for schools to start prior to the end of the Labor day weekend and not all of them start that first Tues. afterwards.
Maybe he doesn’t remember when the war started because it hadn’t started yet. Too many updated things for a period when all they had to travel on was one wheel with a log through it.
In Vegas school actually starts the week before Labor Day.School one week then a week off, doesn’t make any scene to me either. But Trapper’s still a idiot…
After reading all the comments, my favourite line is “a slight variance in a temporal anomaly may occur”..It appears may provinces, states, and countries set their own dates as to when school starts. I wonder what everyone thinks about the school start dates in countries that lie south of the equator? (Australia? New Zealand? Chile? South Africa?)

When “Back To School” ads started coming on, my daughters started cheering. They’re SO glad to be back!

I don’t get the throwaway top panels. Any help here? And by the way, here in the south school starts in early August!

What makes you think they all get paid for that time off? I know a public school cafeteria worker who has to go on unemployment each summer.

You know, Sunday strips are typically written months ahead of time.

Schools in my area started this week. Big deal if he’s off by a week. Judgmental much?
