That’s karma.

Kevin offering her a soda was already a red flag in her mind.

There’s probably a negative print of Kevin on the wall now…

Should be more of a FOOSH then a BANG. ?? His twin sister can’t be fooled by her twin brother.

Well at least he didn’t take it down to the hardware store and run it through the paint shaker like Bart Simpson did to his dad’s beer can. Yep, opening it put Homer in the hospital.

Forget it, Kevin. Your sister knows you way too well!

Krystal knows her brother and she knows better than to fall for his tricks.

Instead of poke her in the face, it poked him in the face.

You’d think with all of Kevin’s “street smarts,” he’d actually know what “poker” is.

Yeah, I was never much good at keeping a straight face when about to spring a joke. I almost never did practical jokes like that, though, I’m talking about verbal kidding. Always surprised me when I pulled it off anyway. On the other hand, I have a brother-in-law who can say things with a perfect matter-of-fact tone of voice and expression even when he’s kidding — and my sister picked it up from him! Fortunately, they only use this power for the good of a good joke.

My dad and uncle co-owned a paint and glass store with my dad running the glass part. My cousin worked for my dad and, while working on a job, opened a can of Coke. He set it down and, while he wasn’t looking, my dad grabbed the can and poked a hole with his glass cutter, just under the lip of the opening. It took Herbie about three swigs of his Coke before he realized what had happened.

I do that same thing that Kevin did in the last strip. It’s gotten me into a LOT of awkward situations.
