[60s dad]All the boys look like girls these days![/60s dad]
I suppose it could be a guy. The rest of the group are. So the dad is probably mad for the same reason just with a not unsavory twist.
Being inconsistently wrong is more maddening to people.
In the real world I would agree. This strip is beholden to Escher.
That was the puzzle I needed to solve. The woman is thinking about her red-headed kid, the one who is on top of the roof dropping the ice cream on his dad. She’s a redhead but the dad isn’t.
What are the cottages on the far left thinking about? A peace symbol or a Mercedes?
She is looking for her kid, and it’s worried she can’t see him.
I missed those. I vote peace symbol, but don’t know why they are thinking of anything.
The beach cottages have been busy all day, but now it’s evening, and they’re looking forward to some peace and quiet.
And the power line is thinking of electricity.
And because she knows he’s a troublemaker, the kind of kid who climbs upon roofs and drops ice cream on people.
Presumably, the cottages have people in them. The real puzzler is why the transformer on the power pole is thinking of electricity when it’s already full of it. Or that an inanimate object is thinking at all. Maybe that’s a warning that the machines are getting ready to strike.
Took me a while to see the seagull that’s sitting on the bench like a human.
So, a bunch of people have commented that they don’t know all of the context and backstory. And the OP identified the grammatically-annoyed character by name, so presumably, he’s familiar with the strip.
So how about it, @Steve_McQwark ? What can you tell us about these other characters?
On second thought, maybe that’s the point. They couldn’t see the boy but she’s thinking of him hopefully and he’s thinking of him grouchily.
There’s that annoying inconsistency again! It should be:
Charle’s i’s out sick today.
(So France’s will be chairing todays meeting’s.)
