Sorry, Gordon, I fell asleep halfway through reading that second panel. You must be the most boring person in Canada. Yes, even worse than Dr. Patterson!
Let’s set aside the younger kids, but peering into the bedroom of his 18- or 19-year-old son like that??
If I was woken up by the door creaking and saw my Dad standing in the doorway with the hall light behind him, staring at me, I think my reaction would have been “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?” with possibly a choice expletive thrown in for effect. Or imagine if Lizard Breath woke up, not even to see him in the doorway, but lurking over her bed in the dark, like Nosferatu – I imagine you’d hear a piercing scream!
Ahh…what I missed, growing up in a more civilized era.
