Red and Rover by Brian Basset for October 28, 2022

Love Red’s expression in the last panel.

Fortunately Red does not have anything like a TV, music system, or phone in his room.

Need go to, like an am radio or a comic book with a flashlight.

Sleep well!

Sneaky dad.

That smarty-pants Dad knows the boys will soon be snoozing away!

I think dad had the right approach, lol!

Well played, Dad.

Rover certainly looks comfortable

That’s a good ole, “Yes, but. . .”

Smart Dad… to funny.

Red and Rover need to tell each other ghost stories to stay awake to the bewitching hour. Yip yip yip yip yip

Let’s start a ghost story. I’ll start off. While laying in bed waiting for midnight they heard a scratching at their 2nd story bedroom window. Next persons part.

Ha!

“Can I stay up…”

“Yes as long as you’re in bed…”

Red failed to spot the obvious contradiction.

Brilliant, Dad……

“Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants, so long as it is black.”

I would have been wide awake even as a child much longer than that anyway. I was just told to stay in my room and stay in bed. Insomnia hit me very young.

It was never insomnia for me. I was just an extreme night owl (and still am.) No amount of fiddling with my sleep schedule has been able to fix that. Midnight is actually an early bedtime for me.
