    So me and Lumpy were walking out the door going to the ball field to meet up with Eddie Haskell, when we saw that the Beaver and Whitey were messin’ around and stuff in Dad’s car…

    Then the alarm clock went off and I woke up…

    As long as the inmates (kids) are running the asylum (family) this will become more and more common. Parents have forgotten how to parent (or never knew how).

    That grumpy old guy looks like the guy from quite a few other Close To Home strips. I’m pretty sure it’s the same guy so I think he needs a name.

    People today have more fears and depression, its freaking ridiculous. If your life really is that meaningless, its time to end it. I have seen people with so many physical, mental and social problems, but they still look forward to ever day!

    Well if the fear of success concerns not wanting to have any, then he does seem to be on the right path.
