Two questions—why did Buggy throw away his helmet and goggles (except to set up the joke in the last panel) and why is James looking at Granddad disapprovingly? (Buggy’s costume reminds me of the weird kid in the line to see Santa in “A Christmas Story,” the one who creeped out Ralph by declaring his liking for Santa and the Tin Man from “The Wizard of OZ.”)
I’m wondering what James and Buggy think of each other. Maybe it’s better not to speculate. If they are related, I again feel that their ancestors should have been sterilized. Eugenics!

This is probably what Buggy will look like in, say, 60 years or so—he’ll be the coolest old geezer in the retirement home!

…or geriatric ward of the prison. That kid is one twisted little cruller. Only time will tell.

Buggy and James, Calvin, and Clem — convincing arguments for ZPG

Given that characters in this strip never age, I’d say we already know what Buggy will look like in 60 years.

I bet Rose likes this one as much as she liked Nick’s do-rag.

No, Nick, don’t wear that! That Buggy boy probably has lice!

Buggy needs an ‘attitude’ adjustment. . .right on the seat of his pants. . .

That is so scarry. For head lice may not make much difference for Nick.

watmiwori: Unfortunately, all those named appear to be only children and so are permitted under even a Chinese population control.
