A few years ago, I felt like I could charge through 70. Now I’m barely 60 and… a cheap, warm place to retire is sounding awfully good, if such a thing exists anymore.
Did they announce the Scavenger Hunt results somewhere and I missed it? The Andrews Mcmeel page about it has been removed. I thought I had read that the results would be out March 17th…
The need for good grades then led Rose to an inferiority complex. And grades became more important than learning, so she learned how to cheat just to maintain the grades, completely forgetting that she was smart all on her own. Then she went to a meh college, majored in the “easy” thing, ending up jobless and trying to figure out her real passion in life. That’s when she started to truly LEARN again without grades as a marker for “success.” She found her passion, started a business, and now realizes that grades never mattered after all.

Ah, Wallace, you are so refreshing! Educate Rose in stress reduction! :D

I like the coonskin cap on the clammer. Clamming guy. Clam digger.

Or you could just stay in Snug Harbor and dig some clams when you feel like it.

I’m so glad I made it through to retirement! As long as you’re healthy and in decent shape financially, these can be the best years!

Poor Rose! She needs Wallace to help her slow down, to learn how to stop and smell the…roses.

She needs a dog in her life.

Cue some adult telling her, “These are the best years of your life!”

Poor kid.

The second panel should read “I want to learn a lot so I’m prepared when I find what I love to do”. Of course the comic would need a new punch line.

Enjoy the journey Rose. Explore the side roads as well.

Way too much stress for a little kid.

So sad. However, opposites do attract and maybe even balance each other out….

Excellent character building strip for Rose. She’s a wonderful addition to Wallace the Brave to bounce off all the silliness.

Trite but “I blame the parents myself”.

Rose, take the advice my dad is always telling me about life: “if you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong.”
Aladar30 Premium Member over 1 year ago
Rose’s parents are not exactly good parents. The poor thing is under too much pressure.

There aren’t many problems in life that can’t be solved by a well placed whoopee cushion and some duct tape.

Please let Rose be a child.

Maybe she should re-examine her goals…… or even whether or not she should have goals at her age.

How about a flaming paper-bag on the front porch?

High-driven Rose is the anxious type. Welcome to my world.

Love the clamming scene.
