Wasn’t Special Delivery a step above First Class?

Do NO children in comic strips understand normal behavior when it comes to food?

At least Sergio is telling him not to do it.

By the way, this is continuing the recent tradition of every couple of weeks Baldo acting completely out of character for the sake of a punchline that doesn’t even make any sense.

password zits

Come on, I’m old, and even I know you don’t need wi-fi to post photos. Unless she has the world’s worst cell phone data plan.

For that matter, how does she not already know her boyfriend’s wi-fi password?

Only referring to Frazz’s Panel Two comment here: Isn’t asking somebody just as valid as looking something up?

Of course, looking it up has the advantage that you can usually just get the answer without your source criticizing your methods.

forth deck

This storyline puzzles me: do the Forths live in a universe where insurance companies doesn’t exist? I’m not sure I’d give ours a 5-star Yelp review (do they actually have Yelp reviews for insurance companies?), but in the end we did get taken care of.

Isn’t this just common practice? Or do I just think it is after 60 years of menorahs?

Speaking of 60…

Mike Peters, being 75 himself, presumably knows that a 60-year-old Barbie isn’t likely — by virtue of her age alone — to be in an assisted living facility.

Um… Didn’t NASA address this issue close to 60 years ago?
