FoxTrot by Bill Amend for May 10, 2020

Time for a WWE Smackdown!

Jason might weigh twice as much as he masses, though: He has great deal of … gravitas… though we seldom see it.

Never start a request to your child with, “Would you mind…..?”. Better to say, “Please set the table.”

Jason has loads to learn about metaphors and figures of speec

MY mother never said “Would you mind…” Are you kidding me? She was all: “You little !#$%, go set the (&^% table before I kick your #$% head all the way from here to +#$(#$ Kingdom Come!”

Happy Mother’s Day!

That little brat needs all his tech toys taken away til he learns to be a decent human being.

There is an easy way to fix this. Say “Set the table or no desert and your doing dishes.”

There’s another saying Jason: “Spare the rod and spoil the child!”

Today’s classic Sunday strip we’re missing:

If Peter is twice Jason’s weight then it is Jason that should set the table twice, since Peter does twice the amount of work vs Jason each time he sets the table.

I’m a little disappointed Amend had nothing for Mother’s Day, or anything specific to it today. I don’t think Jason being a jerk to Andy (and by extension Peter and Roger) counts. Amend had some good Mother’s Day strips before. I also miss his doing dailies.

I think you’ll be looking at setting the table for the next week, buster.

Mom…you know Jason’s going to take things literally when it comes to setting the table….

Another ‘entertainment’ source ripping Dad. What a novel thing to do on mother’s day.

Perhaps set chore schedule not by weight, but by resources consumed.

Better convince him to gain extra weight for the girls
