Okay, not really a CIDU, but it got me wondering: Do parents actually let their kids get away with this sh-t? Mine learned early on that “Dad says no, so ask Mom” was unacceptable, and this seems to be true as well in every other family I know.

Synchronicity Cubed

Cidu Bill on Feb 11th 2009

This isn’t really a case of synchronicity, since the comics appeared over a space of more than a year apart; but I do have to be impressed that Peter Lepine can look at today’s Strange Brew
