Mel had it right way up the top. Powers gives a good reason why it’s not what Lord-z or Count says. That and the kid is like 10, far too young for hookers. Besides that, Mel’s explanation actually makes the comic hilarious, the other interpretations aren’t. For Nicole, and people talking about his mother, I think you just have to assume his father is not a great parent and divorced.

The thing is, Todd, SMBC is hilarious. But it is strips from the entire six year run that is being submitted. That is, as of today, 1149 strips. I think that this one, for example, is a couple of years old.

The doesn’t even look old enough to be in junior high. I hope his dad wasn’t renting him a hooker.

Also, I think a comic needs to be banned from the cidu page if it appears, as a cidu, more than a certain number of times in a short period. I’d say three times in two weeks. If it shows up that much, it indicates that maybe it’s just not that funny.

And I think this strip has come pretty close.

That’s what’s still tripping me up. From the wording, it’s clear he’s adding an additional hooker, or that “two” is the corresponding number of hookers for a “C-” grade, per agreement. If he was simply usurping his kid’s hooker, he would have said “both”. I’m not buying it.

Yup, I think the Count and Lord nailed it. I think I would’ve gotten it sooner if Dad said “both hookers” instead of “two hookers”.

Show me an “A”, and I’ll show you an “A”.

Count Shrimpula and Lord-z’s explanations are the only ones that really make (humourous) sense to me. I read it they same way they did.

I was thinking that the dad would keep news of bad grades from MOM as long as Junior kept news of hookers from her also. But hiding worse grades apparently translates to hiding more hookers.

Wow, no one’s gotten this yet. Ok, so to try to motivate the son to get good grades, he tells him something like, “I’m going to get a couple of hookers when report cards come out. If you get straight A’s, one of them is yours!” Then when the kid fails to achieve such high marks, “Oh darn, you didn’t make it. Well, it’d be a shame for this second hooker to go to waste, so I guess I’ll just have to sleep with both of them.” Hence the emphasis on “two hookers”. Unfortunately for the kid, this turns out to be a poor way to motivate him, since it gives the dad such a big incentive to ensure the son’s failure.

Oh — and I think he makes his son pay for the hookers — double EWWWWWWWW
