Baldo is so terrified by the thought of restoring this car that he’s beginning to turn into an anime character?

Glasses
- I’m sure I’ve mentioned in the past how much I detest the “Fibs your parents told you as a child” concept.
- What part of this is supposed to be funny?
- Why is this something parents would lie to a child about anyway? If she doesn’t want to wear glasses, will the promise of not having to wear them twenty years in the future make a bit of difference?
- That said, I wore glasses every waking moment from my pre-teens, and then suddenly stopped needing them when I was 44.
Funny story there: I thought my eyesight was really getting bad, because I was having a lot of trouble focusing. One day I was with a friend and I was trying to read a map, and I just couldn’t. She said “Try taking off your glasses.” And… problem solved: I didn’t need the glasses, not for close-up or for distance, and wearing them was the thing screwing me up. Who knew?

Comic Strips That Might Not Go Over Well Today
I don’t necessarily agree with everything on the list, but it was an interesting read.
Rollover
B.A.: My understanding of “rollover” is that if Arlo didn’t claim his Monday hug, he’s entitled to two hugs on Tuesday; and “no rollovers” means he can’t claim his unclaimed Monday hug on Tuesday. No clue what they’re going on about here, though.
PFD
- So another kid has a name.
- Kyle: “What the hell’s a PFD?”
Frazz: “A life vest.”
Kyle: “Why didn’t you just say that, you pretentious twit?” - What’s the actual joke here?
Like leaving a sponge or a surgical instrument in the body except… it’s a Post-It Note??
And while two comics on the same day dealing with trials doesn’t qualify as synchronicity, two comics I don’t understand on the same day dealing with trials does.
Easy enough to tell what’s literally happening in both comics, I guess, but what are the jokes?
Eh?
Pardon My Dress
She’s saying she doesn’t have to buy dressed as long as she can post photos of herself wearing them?
Assuming this make sense, why not the same for shoes?
LARGE PRINT
B.A.: I can think of several ways to interpret this, none of which unfortunately add up to a punchline.
