Today TB trots out one of his favorite themes: that role-reversal in which children feel the need to protect their poor hapless parents. Although when your father is a complete idiot like Les, perhaps some sheltering is in order. And we see another Batiuk trait in panel 3 when Keisha says “Point” where in real life one would say “Good point” or “I get your point” (she could also have come back with “Bingo, Sherlock”). There’s only enough space in the panel, though, for her one-word reply. Maybe if he spread the plot more evenly over the week’s panels, it wouldn’t be necessary for TB to cram all the dialogue into Saturday’s strip.
