The bad part is, the teachers can’t read any of his handwriting when he “fills out” homework.

No – no I have not. I’m only in the third grade. The question was has Doctor Appleby done anything important? Let us learn about real black heroes.

I wondered why he was Doctor Appleby at such a young age.

Sometimes having “Doctor” as your real name may not be a good thing, see the physician who treated President Garfield after he was shot Dr. Doctor Willard Bliss (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Willard_Bliss)

Yeah…this is all kinds of red flags to me. Not only is he role playing the worst aspects of being a doctor, this kind of thing is just setting him up for a HUGE fall down the line if he doesn’t make it through medical school. Not to mention grooming a child like this can be considered a form of abuse.

Anyone who helps another, makes them smile, lessens their pains or consoles them in need is doing something important.

I expect more from this strip. This was weak.

Has he done anything important? He got her out of doing her homework assignment by going along with this farce.

Garrison Keillor used to tell stories about Senator K. Thorvaldson. Only once that I ever heard did he reveal that “Senator” was his name.

People in history books aren’t real?

I’m unimpressed with Robb on this one – Sunny usually is much wiser than to be shown pulling such a stupid report
