If she does leave social media. She will be wise beyond her years. Being kind will just be an added bonus.

We all know in future strips Carmen will be back to square one!

So, when Carmen departs — will the strip be re-titled, “Winslow”? (The possibility reminds me of how “Robotman” changed and was re-titled, “Monty.”) Will the characters then include a misunderstood sidewinder and a cranky horned lizard?

Kind and wise? So you’re renouncing being a conservative too?

Compromise. Shoot for kind OF wise.

It’s a misprint, should read “Kind of a Wise-guy”.

This cartoon is not kind or wise.

Yes please

But she was never either of those things. There was a Bush-era strip where she said, “You traded five dangerous terrorists for a traitor,” and I just think it’s creepy for characters who are ostensibly children to say that.

How will everyone know how humble I am if I don’t tell them?

If one states an opinion, but nobody can hear it, does one really exist?

Yeah, 180° opposite of a ’pub.

Ouch! I may be having an epiphany.

No that isn’t correct on both counts. One can be kind, wise is another matter.
