Tattling after the crime has been committed.

Is that his younger brother or a mobile punching bag?

Time to throw out all his games and other stuff (well, maybe put them in storage until it’s cleaned up).

Mom, is it OK if Jason squeals on Peter?

Passive aggressive tattling…

tattle tale.

Jason’s a rat.

snitches get stitches…

This kind of thing carries over years later when the kids are battling over the parent’s estate.

You guys really do hate Jason, don’t you? I’m sure that if it was Peter squealing on Jason you would be like “serves the twerp right.”

How in the world did his mother not notice him leaving with his guitar and amplifier??? You can’t just sneak out of the house with that stuff. Heaven knows I tried…

Jason has the “my work is done here” look on his face in the last panel…

I played the role of Jason when I was younger. My sister was watching TV downstairs but she didn’t seem quite right. I asked my mom and stepfather (upstairs) what was wrong with her and they said she was punished and not allowed to watch TV. I guess the look I had was not a good pokerface and they asked if she was watching TV. “Um, yes.” Trouble!

He is a stool pigeon, a rat fink, tattle tale and narc.

Andy should ground both her boys.

You’re gonna get it, Peter.

It is not Jason’s responsibility to tell Peter. You want to discipline Peter, get off your butt and do it yourself, Mom!
