Not quite the sharply-targeted (some might say mean) comic strip parodies Super-Fun-Pak Comix is in part known for, this linked sequence seems more like documenting and mildly kidding off some familiar tropes.

The Purge
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?

We hope it’s not another name for “juice cleanse”!
P.S.
So mothers saying this to daughters is the new version of this venerable trope!
(This one not a CIDU.)

Not exactly one of a plotted series, but she has previously brought up the issue of whether masks affect how a therapy session goes.
The talk!
Oooo, zinger!
En attendant le chien
Almost synchronous.
Do you agree that both do a good job of mapping the dog characters here to the two hobos of the play?
