One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for August 01, 2012

…..in the summer? Maybe she could start a trend?

Someone who volunteers to help students with homework, and children like Ruthie to bug with nonsense.

Me I never knew was a hotline homework helper. We were on our own. Most states school starts in August. This strip is too early.

Well, Ruthie, there is something called “overalls” which in the US are something like this:While in British and Australian English it’s something like this:

The date on the strip is “9-12”. Remember, these are reruns. The new strips are on the blue Creators.com link to the right.

wow

Underwear = Skivvies

You can start a new fashion trend, Ruthie.

I thought the British and Austrailians called overalls: jumpers?

Overall, this is a very good comic.

The Homework Hotline is a service offered by many public libraries. In our county, it’s called “Ask a Librarian.” Often there’s also an online version.

I have heard “outerwear” used, especially for coats and jackets.

The last line should have been, “I know you’re there. I can hear you crying.”

The clothes you wear under your clothes are underwear, the clothes you rear outside your clothes are outerwear.

Canada too!
