The Buckets by Greg Cravens for December 06, 2024

If you were doing homework, Toby, you’d be surprised how late you can stay up. :)

To your room…(doesn’t mean you actually have to sleep!)

In the olden days, teenagers stayed up late so if there was an attack, the weak ones would be weeded out before reproducing.

Ha! Great answer!

My how things change over time, now I can’t stay up a late as I want, but I can sleep as late as I want.

Fifteen! We have a declared age for our pal Toby!

I was so excited the first time my parents let me stay up all night. Working nights pretty much took the pleasure out of it.

Re: yesterday’s strip: this kid is 15!!!!! and doesn’t know it’s the same moon everywhere!? Doesn’t know what his father does for a living??!? He needs to have a digital intervention and get him acquainted with the world he actually lives in.

And tomorrow morning the opposite. But it will be Saturday – why can’t he sleep as late as he likes then?
