Zonker: Going somewhere? Sam: I hope not... but I keep getting these tweets about how the world will end on Saturday! Mom says it's not true, but just in case I'm taking a special outfit to the afterlife. What do you think? Zonker: You're wearing hot pink through all eternity? Sam: Well, I want to stand out.
“Oh-oh, Sam’s got adult eyes now, too. Who’s gonna be the token kidlet in this strip from here on out? Toggle!”
Great idea! But there are probs with Toggle as the token kidlet: • He’s already got adult eyes, • one of them covered with an eye patch due to an eye lost as • a battle-hardened veteran in W.Bush’s Iraq war. He’s • married to the hard-to-crack nut Alex and thus a • potential soon-to-be-parent. Lessee now, that’s already 5 bullets again’ him as “kidlet”. Hows aboust we wait till Alex and Tog have their OWN kidlet, and we can then recommend to GBT to assign him, Tog Jr. (?), to that estimable role?
