Sanctions

Two parents stand facing a child. One parents wears glasses and has a supportive arm over the other's shoulder; the other has a high ponytail and folded arms. On the floor in front of the child is a hammer and several nails, most of which are haphazardly driven into the floor. The ponytail parent says, "The Parental League hereby informs you that sanctions on your behavior will begin with a TV embargo and may escalate to suspension of financial aid." The child, frustrated, says, "This paternalistic attitude is... oh, right."
 

(This is more of a re-run than a remake (though I added a little detail and cleaned up a couple errant lines from the original), but listen. I had to keep Glasses Dad as-is. I can't explain it but maybe you will understand.)

A literary classic

 

On Friday, he spent five minutes drawing the comic, but he was too tired to do a better imitation of the art style.

Parenting evaluation

 

Today's comic is something I actually said to the Crustacean Baby. My wife keeps a list of things she overhears me say to him, and she just posted the second installment today. Read the rest of them at https://twitter.com/sharahmeservy/status/1496891272165920769

Object and subject impermanence

 

"Something important" being, as near as I could make out, "aaababawabambabaaa".
