Bad Machinery by John Allison for December 23, 2021

Look closer, Shauna.

Well… he’s not wrong.

In cases of emergency, wommmm can supersede tea, unless it’s high tea.

Shauna is showing her prejudices and to be pretty shallow. Corky has a point here! And what are those patches on the children?

I’m fairly certain that this is what the G on their school uniforms really stands for: https://www.giggleswick.org.uk/

Great powers of observation and analysis, Corky! You’re out-sleuthing a Mystery Kid!

Claire’s wearing glasses again.

No, no, Corky’s got a point. Especially when you consider Lem’s “parents” struggle to treat him his age—of course there ought to be party bags.

Little Claire looks so cute in that second panel!

We didn’t get party bags when I was a kid. Of course we had our birthday parties in caves then, because that was where we lived, and we rode around on mammoths, etc. and also that was in America not England….

I see three adhesive bandages. Did they have them on the way in?
