Many years ago I was trying to describe this thing as a “canned cow that moos when you turn it over.” My puzzled friend started at me for a minute and said “I’m from Iowa. Our cows don’t come in cans.”Well, it was hysterical at the time …
I have long lost track of the number of times I have seen this specific strip, but the darned thing gets to me every single time. A blessing on your head, Miss Bliss. Dill, it will be okay.
I am so happy to see Miss Bliss rescue our beloved Dill from his self-generated depression: rocking-chair therapy is ideal! And that final panel with the other Blisshaven kids offering analysis of What Went Before is a gem (if only I knew what “Goodnight Moon” is)…..
Bambi, Old Yeller, and Lassie. I quit watching Lassie at age 9 after a very sad episode. No one could get me to watch it again, they’d turn it on and I’d leave the room and go read.

Aww Dill, you have a great kindergarten teacher who really cares when you’re sad and upset. That’s the way teachers should be.

As I’m reading this, the cattle in the pasture beside our home are lowing.

I’ll bet Miss Bliss would be amazed if she could overhear what the other children are saying!

Q: Are they trying to depress you?
A: Yes. It’s all part of training you to be a cog in the machine.

Appalling the things that adults inflict on children in the name of education and/or entertainment.

When it’s all said and done, Miss Bliss really takes good care of the children in a very sweet, understanding way.
