Cornered by Mike Baldwin for January 19, 2024

“Plugging” for leniency.

“I’m just sayin’.”

… and it’s lights out

Sure must be lousy grades.

Old Man: “Pull the plug! I don’t want to live! Pull the plug!”

Son: “No.”

Wow. It’s a good thing I didn’t try that as a kid. I shudder to think what my dad would’ve done.

He make offer you no refuse.

Hint hint.

You gotta survive a lot of years before you can make good on that threat. Let’s see if you can.

Look Dad, before you start screaming and hollering, just remember, some day it will be ‘ME’ calling the shots…

Pffft! With the stroke of a Sharpie, an F- is now a B+… problem solved! …for a while, anyway.

…now, pull my finger…

No threat there. If I was that old and sick, I would pull the plug.

The kid no doubt has dead cats hidden away somewhere already…

give the kid an ‘A’ in Sociopathy

You’re grounded

I don’t want to be hooked up to machines. Just let me go.

The next day the Dad went out to get a six pack and carton of cigarettes. Made a left turn and that was the last they ever saw of him. Word has it, he’s lying a beach on some island paradise and working on his tan.

That child might just not even make it himself to have the chance (“opportunity”) to make that “whoooops”.

That’s enlightening, or threatening maybe. Reconsider your will, perhaps?

Seriel murderers start early in life and can easily be identified…..

took me a beat to get it, LOL!

Harsh.

Just practicing for later. Now, let’s talk about my allowance.

Gaddzooks, really in a comic, come on man.

Cornered, the unplugged version!

Now THAT’S funny! And that kid is goooood!

Then I guess you’ll have to go first!

Young Tony Soprano?

No more “Goodfellows” for u son…

I would make sure that kid is written out of my will.

The Bad Seed. Time to take action.

His report card must be really "F"d up.

Start researching military academies.

The kid is a future made man.

Shades of an SNL skit, Mike? Lol!!

Dark, Dark, Dark.

These kids are why we’ll NEED the machines they’ll unplug!
