The implication of who is or isn’t willing to help is not the point. In saying “you, me, and 11 brothers” makes it clear that Clayton is including himself, but Clarence is one of the 11 other brothers. If Clayton says "you AND 11 brothers, that means Marcus has 12 brothers. There would still be 12 people to count on because we’d have 10 other brothers plus Clarence and their dad.
For Ken Gagne who asked why there was a comma after Rome, this comic is printed in my local newspaper, the Las Vegas Review-Journal, and after the comma it says 70 A.D.
I have followed this comic for years, and I love it because it deals with everyday problems that all people, regardless of race, deal with. AshburnStadium should not have played the race card here because we all know that Dot is a lunatic driver. Even her own family are scared stiff to get into the car with her. That is the first thing I thought of when the cop pulled her over. To suggest anything else just continues making racism the reason for everything that goes wrong. Grow up!
