I love the subtle truths this comic tells. Note that Kevin habitually doesn’t do homework in part because he has no place to do it. This was true in my house too and I never realized it until I was an adult. My parents used to scream at me for not doing homework while setting aside neither time nor place to do it! Kevin’s mom is no doubt doing her best but also setting her kids up to fail.

I never plotted expensive household disasters. Most of those happened on the fly.

Building a volcano is a science project. Or they could get more adventurous mixing things from under the kitchen … for science!

Does Kevin’s mother even know her son might have to repeat his grade?

Kevin: “I’ll set a timer, and then drop something onto the floor just to keep Mom satisfied.”

She isn’t paranoid – she’s acting in self-defense.

Mom is forgetting who will take care of her in her sunset years.

Janine, your son is trying to pass third grade and prevent himself from being held back. You can’t go around accusing him of things.

This is actually not a good thing. She doesn’t trust her kids and they give her no reason too. Miles’ expression in the last panel says it all

“…they give her no reason to.” I must be reading a different ’toon than you. I think Kevin gives her plenty of reasons not to trust him.
