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.
My older daughter is addicted to stationery supplies. She has a pen collection that is not to be believed! However, since she gets most of them from Dollar Tree, she can usually find an opened package to test the pens on (and if she loves it enough, doesnât even bother testing itâŠbut sheâs been lucky thus far; theyâve all worked).
Tattoos are a turnoff for me. Perhaps it is because too many of my parentâs and grandparentâs generations were forced to get tattoos â numbers on their forearms.
Human flesh has different ink absorption properties than paper and papers differ in their ink absorption properties depending on the quality and slickness of the paper. And inks have differing properties depending on the ingredients in the ink, mostly due to the water content and how fine the pigment is ground before introduction to the water.
Some of those âtatsâ would have to have been written by each other, for instance, âElizabethâ in script on Lizâs forearm. She could not possibly have done that herself.
You can tell these girls have common sense and common decency. Other kids would have just tried them out on the display, on the walls, and on the other merchandise.

Notice the âBac To Schoolâ sign in panel 2⊠she could have tried the markers to make a âKâ.

Works for me. I donât know how many pens I tested on my hand to make sure they worked, but it was a lot. Even to this day.

Looks like typical kids of today no matter the age. Stooped parents just let them get tats.

The lady clerk in the store looks like my MIL. Same sour look, too.

The typical 555 prefix that we see in almost every movie with a phone number on Candaceâs arm.

Mom is going to have a shock, at least washable.

I think the missing colors on the pen boxes is a glaring mistake. The colorist was lazy today.

I like the misspelled notice board in the second panel BAC TO SCHOOL.
