Be careful for what you wish for Shannon. Your dad might meet someone while gone and you end up with a step-mom. Hopefully she’d be a good one and not like Cinderella’s evil stepmother.
Tomorrow! Oh Shannon. Time does not run like that in this comic strip. If Toni were to get pregnant tonight, it would still take another decade for her to have the baby.
Hmmm, I’m wondering if Shannon is going to ask how kids are made, or perhaps she’s already figured that out herself in her own manner since she thinks Toni can have a kid tomorrow.
Nice, now that Shannon has made a request, it’s clear that the birth of Brad and Toni’s child is a sure thing and will be within 2025. I say this as a person who was also born at the request of a older sister who felt lonely. I want to see Shannon become overprotective of her little cousin!
Mrs. Degroot? Wouldn’t Nancy at this point be considered to be like an Aunt, since Shannon isn’t Toni, and, Brad’s kid (Yet.) And, I know she’s met Nancy before, and, Luann’s father, they’ve helped take care of her in the past when both junior Degroots are on shift, and, Luann isn’t available.And, Shannon, as for the idea of your Aunt Toni having a baby TOMORROW, there are a couple steps that have to take place before that happens.
This is about the sweetest strip of this series. It just makes me kind of smile and it came from Toni and Shannon! Reminds me of one the reasons I visit this strip. It’s not all about the humor.
Nice artwork today but it would be so nice if G&K would get rid of the helmet heads in this comic! Shannon could be a cute little character if she had different hair.

Just hope that if dad meets someone “special” someday that she is mom-material and not self-centered.

I watched ’The Umbrella Academy" recently….they made the one day pregnancy happen. They can add a little Marigold to the strip, right?
