   Thanks for using proper grammar. Most people would have said ‘my mother and I’. :-(

   Please, do NOT attempt this (feeding squirrels by hand) at home! I tried this once, and the (very friendly, we thought) squirrel ripped my thumb open in 2 places, resulting in an emergency room visit. They have VERY sharp claws! Thankfully, they’re known to not carry rabies, so I didn’t have to get that shot. Sorry to be such a downer, but I know this strip is read by a lot of kids, and I don’t want them to get the wrong idea that feeding squirrels by hand is a fun and safe thing to do.

    Actually, the proper word is “inflammable”. It means “able to be inflamed” (can be burned). The word got transmogrified over the years, because many people thought it meant “not able to be burned”, so to make it more clear, people started using “flammable”. Too bad people can’t learn the proper meaning of a word and use it the way it was intended. (My grandfather, who was an English teacher, set me straight on this.)
