I had to go back to the previous panel to see that Brutus is holding a mirror down at his side. In the last panel, you think he’s just got a morning condition.
My siblings and I picked up the complaining about being bored from our cousins, and our parents very quickly found a cure for that. Any time we would say, “I’m bored,” my folks would give us something to do, from cleaning out the garage, raking up gumballs from the dozens of trees in the yard, washing cars and trucks, and cleaning out Dad’s shop. We very quickly learned to not say we were bored and to find ways to entertain ourselves. I haven’t been bored since 1989!
Do you think this commenter doesn’t know the story of the flood? This comic strip doesn’t indicate the ark is atop a mountain. This commenter was making a joke, being that “Why is it up here on a mountain?” being something the potential buyer was asking. And the story was that the whole world was flooded. The top of the mountain didn’t appear until the waters started receding. According to the Bible. It’s a fun story to read, but doesn’t fit with other recorded histories at that same time period.
I’ll never understand how so many modern parents will let their children dictate the dinner menu. Our grandparents generation never would have imagined that and would put a stop to the nonsense in no time flat. My kids ate what we gave them and their “option” was to eat or go without. They’ll eat when they get hungry enough!
How insightful! You must be fun at parties!
