Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
*9 Chickweed Lane without the smug pretentiousness and romanticism.
*King of the Hill with a watered-down distaff expy of Cotton Hill.
Itâs the same script when these two go at it:
Jane: Why do you hate me so much, Mommy?
Mom: Because I donât need you! Iâve got a gravy train, and Iâm gonna ride her in style âtil I kick the bucket! As a matter of fact, I donât know why I had you in the first place!
Jane: MOM!
Mom: Oh, come off it! Youâve given me nothing but failure and disappointment! I shouldâve [REDACTED], but itâs much more satisfying to see you suffer! Youâve got nowhere else to go! Iâm all youâve got!
A similar situation on another comic strip took two strips to shut it down. Why Jane doesnât do this instead of trying to engage her mom as if they were equals, I donât know. I hope something happens during this arc that proves me wrong and makes this post merely a late-night ranting from some dumb loony who reads too much into comic strips. Then again, it is a comic strip.
Moms just want their daughters to be happy. Even if it comes across the wrong way. Iâm a daughter. Iâm a mom of a daughter. I get it. My mom nagged me. Iâll nag my daughter when sheâs older. And the mom/son relationship is different. I probably wonât nag my son as much. But Iâll hate every girl he brings home because sheâs trying to steal my boy!!

Thatâs why she doesnât want one. She has one already.

Why does this strip so often give me a stomach ache?
