Heart of the City by Steenz for June 30, 2021

Mom knows. Your friends know. And we know, Heart.

Bored? Right! Time to clean your room.

Read a book!

Early one summer, years and years ago, my son loudly announced he was bored. Our home library had (and still does) over 1500 books easily. That didn’t count the floor to ceiling shelf of DVDs and boxes upon boxes of a comic book collection which, at that time, had been almost twenty years in the building. Needless to say I straightened his little red wagon out.

I don’t get it. Is Heart bored or something?

The only worthwhile job of the parent is to follow the kid around with juggling balls for whenever the kid gets bored.

That sentence was the fast track to more extra chores than I never knew existed. That was one of the reasons I read so voraciously.

This is the only comic strip, I can think of, that the characters are easier to tell apart, in black and white.

She could learn how to draw – apparently there’s a HUGE need in the comic market.

Give her some chores to do.

She’s being lazy here expecting mom to do what she could do to alleviate her boredom.

3 strikes and you’re out for chores!

I never ever told my Mother I was bored.

Theres dishs to be done, laundry to be washed,lawn needs mowing, garden needs tending, windows washed, floors wept and/or mopped, dusting, polishing… Oh, child there are any things in an aroud this house to keep you from being bored!!!!!!

I’m bored too.

Whats wrong with your phone Heart? Can you still contact your friends or maybe see some attractive musclar boys in their colorful trunks. They take those musclar arms use it to fly away.

As Jules Renard said, “being bored is an insult to oneself.”
