    She’s just being a modest lil’ gal………

    It’s okay to splish splash with clothes on, but don’t you go putting me in the water without them!!

    Maybe she wants to get in by herself. With toddlers, it’s sometimes all about control.

    with the first 3 panels, she is able to wash herself and the clothes, with the bath, well, let her get in the tub with her clothes on then take them off

    I think the point is that it’s no fun if you HAVE to do it.

    I love the irony!

    Both my kids and now my grandson have to be forced OUT of the bathtub. They’d stay in until totally pruny if I’d have let them

    Few kids fear water, until soap is added.

    EWWWWWWWWWWWW! That is so absolutely GROSSS! I am very glad Elly as a mother catches Lizzie on time whenever she sees Lizzie playing in that toilet bowl with full of germs and bacterias, in the pail with full of filthy water and smell and dog dish with a lot of dog’s germs. Voila! It’s time for Lizzie to take a bath with full of bubble soap that will make her more cleaniness and fresh!

    howtheduck, that is so hilarious funny on the link about the duck Michael cursed at. Ha ha ha ha ha haaaaa I laughed so hard.

    I have read this comic and enjoyed the … interesting… comments for years. I’ve never cared enough to sign up so that I could post before now. But I had to respond to an earlier post.

    howtheduck- I love you commentary and links. Thanks for doing that for us and keep it up!

    My daughter used to cry when we took her out of the bathtub. She loved playing in the bath. I even have videotape of her wailing away once when her mommy grabbed her up in a towel. She hates when I show that video, of course :)

    My dogs are just like that. They will play in the toliet, play in thier water dishes, and play in any other water anywhere they find it. But they hate baths! LOL!

    I also like the comments and links from howtheduck. Those that don’t like them can ignore them and not click on the links.

    Well, Howtheduck has my vote, too. Obviously, anyone who has the time to join the “Comic Comment Club” is a person with a great interest (& ample time) ergo, any added input is a gift. Thanks

    Jascat: I hate rude comment also. Makes me wonder why someone goes out of the way to be rude when they must know they’ll be lampooned. Care to offer any hints, SchmoozeMinkey or Pearlandpeach? Just curious.

    Howtheduck: How early do you get up and what time zone do you live in. It’s 3 PM where I live, and look how far back I am. Pretty silly thing to wonder about, I know!

    How about you, Schmooz or Pearl???

    I didn’t have time to read the comments when I posted earlier, so…

    We appreciate Howtheduck, who offers loads of information we would never otherwise know. And he is always friendly.

    pearlandpeach: you were rude by agreeing with schmooze who stated to howtheduck: you’re really getting tiresome. That’s rude.

    Yup—water is all about the context sometimes. Made me smile.

    Kinda wish the comments of howtheduck were still up now, so I could read them after all the feedback …
