Super Shannon And Puddles …The Wonder Dog!

They fight our worlds problems.

And one of them is that Shannon is standing on it and destroying the surface of the planet. LOL

something tomboyish no doubt

There’s something I’ve always wondered about dreams. Why is it that things you know aren’t possible in the real world, like a dead relative being alive again, does your brain accept without question when you’re dreaming?

The evil that lives in the minds of girls

Greg either has Puddles at Brad’s place or TJ and Shannon at Frank’s place. The continuity failure is massive. Time to retire.

What Shannon dreams I hope is not because of watching a lot of news on TV the last few days.

Reminds me of a GET FUZZY strip in which Satchel contemplates what Bucky dreams about, though Rob dismiss it as, “Kitty stuff, probably.” And what did Bucky actually dream about? Being a big, bag, biker cat.

Super Shannon and her flying dog Puddles.

So, Shannon isn’t anyone’s idea of a sweet little girl?

Shannon The Superhero!

Is it just me, or do most Sundays seem almost always reserved for Brad/Toni/Shannon strips?

Tara could be a good sitter for Shannon. Tara would participate in Shannon’s fun fantasies.

Always nice to see TJ. Hopefully, we’ll see more of him in the future….

Why is the dog there? Do Brad and Toni really have so little to do that they’re dogsitters now too?

So what’s the earliest dream that you can remember?

Superhero, Captain Marvel?

Puddles belongs to Superheroes?

Squashing the Eastern Seaboard and Great Britain apparently.

Fear not – that thing only shoots Cheerios®.

Are you sure girls have different dreams than boys? I admit, mine had more horses, but they looked an awful lot like that. Except the one that I rode a triceratops and jumped it over all the fences and hedges down the street.

Most dreams are not of what you want to be, but more of what you could have or should be.

I have had dreams where I could will myself to fly.

Her weapon reminds me of the “Johnny Seven” I used to have as a kid…..

World domination. I could have guessed that one.

Did Shannon insist they go get the Potato, or did he just happen to be visiting? I wish Evans would update TJ’s hair, and get rid of the little duck tail. Maybe lose one of the piercings. It’s too 80s.

I wonder if Puddles is dreaming the same thing Shannon is. ;~)

With all the gun violence in the US, it is surprising to see a superhero with a weapon. Most superhero’s don’t have guns.

The Expendables 4

Super Shannon is here to save the day!

Guy talk!

But I like her dream. :)

I like TJ’s reference to “sweet little girls” and Shannon. Apparently he doesn’t consider her sweet. More like cooking chocolate?

They are at Brad’s house, it has those arched doorways. Not sure why Puddles is there, maybe Luann dropped him off to be with Shannon while she worked. I’m going to go ahead and say it – with all the gun violence and sadness, is it really appropriate to portray a child with a machine gun? Super heroes don’t use guns, they have super powers. Duh,

Nap time = afternoon, so right across the street Nancy is in the bathtub. Oh yeah; Nancy.

why does puddles have to be in the same house for her to dream about him? I often have dreams involving people who are thousands of miles away or even dead

I wasn’t much different. Except I wanted a Green Lantern ring, or a flight-ring like the Legionnaires. It would be cool to hang out with Superboy when he visited the 30th Century.

Looks, like Shannon, is planning to rule the World one day.

Just like Napoleon and that guy in Germany with the funny mustache.

And We ALL know how that turned out……., ;-)

Shannon looks so adorable and innocent when she sleeps♡♡♡. Brad probably knows her better that her father, he knows how to go beyond the moment. Very amazing dream, absurd like a Tex Avery cartoon or a Japanese anime.

Maybe she’s blasting Ann Eiffel…. Otherwise, do we have enough of the letter “S” on her uniform and equipment? LOL

Be afraid. Be very afraid. Especially with a father like she has.

Well, this is a change of pace!

She is dreaming about a cute animal. Sweet comic today and Shannon is not doing anything bad.

I wrote down my dreams one summer during high school. About 50% were about the school bus, missing it or it being too crowded for all the kids.

Nothing wrong with dreaming……

Cute

Ask Kamala Khan.

My red headed twin daughters cosplayed as Amy Pond, Princess Clarice from Castle of Cagliostro, Nausicaa, Ranma, Kei of the Lovely Angels, Barbara Gordon, and others.

I wonder what Puddles’ superhero name is in this dream?

And instead of wondering why she is not dreaming all those ‘sweet’ things, remember women should be taken seriously. Most of them are smarter than we are.

Heddy Lamar was not only a beautiful woman and extraordinary actress but is also a genius inventor credited with inventing the technology that was the basis for Bluetooth and WiFi and their security by frequency hopping. Also used in torpedo guidance systems. Hedy Lamarr really was erased from so many history books, her inventions hidden away (we wouldn’t even have modern Wi-Fi if it wasn’t for her. Her glamour and stardom showcased as a cover because of course history cannot allow a woman to beautiful and brilliant and multitalented.

Also we wouldn’t have modern computers if it wasn’t for the amazing Ada Lovelace, another woman often forgotten and taken out of history books). Ada saw something that others failed to see. What Lovelace saw…was that number could represent entities other than quantity. So once you had a machine for manipulating numbers, if those numbers represented other things, letters, musical notes, then the machine could manipulate symbols of which number was one instance, according to rules. It is this fundamental transition from a machine which is a number cruncher to a machine for manipulating symbols according to rules that is the fundamental transition from calculation to computation—to general-purpose computation.

hope, for some reason, Tiff and Bets end up babysitting Shannon during summer

This family scene reminds me of “Modern Family”, with Mitchell, Cameron, and Lily.

Good point Brad.

I like to look at the message of the strip. The dog, where they are is missing the point. That said, Shannon is definitely a one of a kind little girl and a force to be reckoned with and it shows in her dreams.

Personally, I find it rather sad that people can’t just read a comic, and, using their imagination, take it at face value, without having to politicize, or over-analyze it.

Forget Captain Marvel, call for Super Shannon

In this strip, Luann finds her super power!

For those who wonder what Shannon might be calling herself and Puddles in her dream:

They are at Brad’s. Black walls and arch. Puddles is visiting. This strip feels like it was done before. Got deja vu when I read it.

Now if that weapon of choice in the kid’s hand was a Super Soaker, I wouldn’t mind having that at all!

Yay! Shannon and Puddles are superheroes in her dreams. Way to go, you guys!!!!

Beware of Shannon, even asleep and dreaming!

She wants to be a warrior space princess. Xena/Leyah combo

She dreams of Super Shannon, Space Marine.

It’s true!They DO look innocent when they’re asleep!!

Go, Shannon!
