Crabgrass by Tauhid Bondia for November 24, 2024

I started reading Crabgrass on another site and gotta say the Sunday strips are really wholesome sometimes.

Same vibes here and Chilli and Bandit trying to imitate Bingo and Bluey’s silly walks.

Don’t worry Gene and Donna. Your son had been 9-years-old since the start of this comic and never ages, which means you two will never get any older than you are now.

Have to be fun w/o the kids seeing or else the parent cred goes down.

Oh no! Miles is starting to catch on! Someone mindwipe him! Now!

And he didn’t have a cellphone to record that!! UGH!! (O, the 80’s!!…)

I’m 59 with arthritis in m spine and I can still skip. It’s painful, but I can do it. I know this because I was doing it last week, on my way out to the car to go Christmas shopping.

Afterwards I stumbled back home and went to bed around 7.

SO true!

Parents don’t want their kids to grow up, so they only have fun when the kids aren’t looking so the kids will not realize the joys of adulthood.

It won’t work. Kids want to grow up and get drivers licenses. Getting behind the wheel is fun.

Do you remember Kevin’s dad? I tried to find some ‘toons with him in them but couldn’t find any. He was still around when the boys got lost in the woods looking for buried treasure. And Kevin got stuck in “quicksand”! and when his dad was going to take the boys to see the wrestler. Anyone have any dates I can look up?

Donna and Gene must be going through a midlife crisis.

So… How many of you tried to “skip”?

Love the look on Mile’s face in the 7th panel.

The only time I skip is when I occasionally skip lunch.

Imagine what they did when you were at daycare, Miles! That’s why you became such a neat kid with your toys.

And it never changes, not that I would want it too. I am forever 25 in my mind, and then I catch a glimpse of my reflection and I think who the heck is that?! I’ll always be a kid at heart though, and it keeps you young to seize any moment to skip, laugh and play.

Somewhere back around the late 70’s and early 80’s, there was research on skipping versus running/jogging. It seems skipping allowed one to cover more ground using less energy, provided a better cardiovascular workout, and was easier on the joints. Also, it was fun. The rumour that one could skip faster than run. While not true, it sure seemed like it.

Unfortunately, skipping adults tended to get ridiculed a lot more than kids. A LOT more.

I’ll have to try to remember how to skip when I get up.

There’s a trend online where a young person challenges an older person (middle aged or older) to see if he/she remembers how to skip. Of course the answer is yes, but the attempts, which are quite funny, reveal a different answer

I don’t think I ever learned to skip. I must have missed school that day.
