Nice and sweet, but is there a joke?

Thanks to Phil Smith III, for sending this in and beginning the investigation by checking out the comments on syndication site and determining nobody there has a definitive answer.


Is this really induction? Seems more like recursion.
Hovertext: “This would be bad enough, but every 30th or 40th pokéball has TWO of them inside.”

Are those fleas? Or miniature dogs? Either way. . . huh?

But isn’t it still the same body, regardless of the personality taking it over? And that body has just gotten double dose of the vaccine?

From Usual John, who says “I don’t understand the ageism reference, since the unhappy mom does not appear to be the oldest (or, for that matter, the youngest) of the women in the cartoon.”
I (Winter Wallaby) would add to that that china teacups in general seem like a very nice present. But it strikes me as bizarre to just give one, regardless of the age of the recipient.

I see it has the same initial, KSP, as Kerbal Space Program. So maybe something to do with that? Dunno.
From RR.

The startled reaction of Emma (the daughter) in panel 2 must be preparing us for the weird drama of panel 4; but why? And why is she wearing gloves — dishwashing gloves? — for her big announcement? And especially, what does she mean by “purge”? A reference to the movie series? A different way of talking about simplifying and tossing out whatever does not give joy (and is not worth inheriting)? We hope it’s not another name for “juice cleanse”!

So mothers saying this to daughters is the new version of this venerable trope!
(This one not a CIDU.)
