Clayton: Art class is over and I'll probably never see Ms. Sykes again.
Laura: Oh, honey. Someday you'll find the perfect person...who's not too old.
Clayton: Too old? Who can claim to place age restrictions on the human heart?
Adam: Law enforcement.

Ah, Clayton. I appreciate your sentiments in panel 3. I was deeply in love with a woman 13 years my senior when I was 22. Ultimately she broke my heart, but it was for the best, I have fond, fond memories of her.

Trapper John, what a silly thing to say. Why would you bother nit-picking about what Mom says? Who cares? And how is it political for her to say “person” instead of “woman”? She’s just not pegging him down when it’s not her place.
The real key to this strip is what Adam says: Ms. Sykes ain’t gonna have nothing to do with Clayton because a) it’s illegal and b) Adam would come after her. Both of these would eventually involve law enforcement.

re: “political correctness”: I love it when someone refuses to mindlessly adhere to an orthodoxy, and someone else accuses them of mindlessly adhering to an orthodoxy. I guess I’m just an irony addict.
Great comic btw.

Way to kill a story right in the middle. Seems this should have started at the beginning of summer.

My daughter’s bf age 20 is dating a man who is 34. I am totally appalled by this, but she is of legal age. The man is a creep as far as I’m considered.
