Crabgrass by Tauhid Bondia for August 04, 2024

Oh this was a bad idea. And Kevin needs to be more grateful

This feels like Kevin’s bad idea

Hey boys, f they grade your behavior at home, you’ll both flunk.

I’m feeling a big fat detention coming on.

They must have been reading Calvin and Hobbes.

Another great Sunday comic. Say what you want, but it’s this kind of grounded humor that made Crabgrass great in the first place. I strongly prefer this over all those arcs with supernatural or sciencefiction elements. Mr. Tauhid, please let your creation return to it’s roots.

We can make the case to bring back paddling now!!

They’re not report cards. They’re quarterly performance assessments.

Looks like the parents are having flashbacks to their youth.

Turnabout!

Time to start hitting the gym, Greg!

It’s a learning experience for all. The parents learn how they are performing; the boys learn how comprehensive their medical insurance is.

Gene’s “F” must stand for “funny” for he’s way too good of a dad to get a low grade.

You can critique your teachers in some colleges. Why not parents?

Hey! Don’t take it personal, it’s only a commentary on how you live your life.

Parents, watch out. If you don’t improve your performance, you’ll have to keep doing the course every year until the kids turn 18.

Come to think of it, no matter how you perform, you’ll have to keep doing the course every year until the kids turn 18. Not much incentive to do any better, is there?

I love how optimistic the boys are in the first panel, like this is the best idea ever!

Sounds like Gene just put a stop to the NONSENSE.

Foolish move, Miles. Your dad is going to say: “You’re right son, we need to get in shape so you can try out for school sports teams. How about, we have football practice Saturday mornings, baseball practice Saturday afternoons, track and field Sundays, …”

Miles: “Noooooo!!!”

Hahaha! Wish I had thought of this. Two things parenting needs: a handbook and report cards.

I don’t think this grading parents thing will go on much longer.

they are going to be so grounded

We won’t see them for a while
