Wow! Captain Kangaroo! That was quite awhile ago.
The comic is set in the late 60s/early 70s. I remember watching CK before school 40+ years ago.
That’s not was it really means but it does mean an improper court.
Are Red and Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes) brothers? ’Cause it sounds like they have the same Dad …
Talking of current events.
Clever answer, Dad!
KABUKI political theater, Dad!
Not too far off, huh? :-)
At least you can’t have a hung jury.
I.love.this!! I grew up watching Captain Kangaroo :-) and I appreciate that Dad gave Red a kid-friendly answer, too.
Don’t forget Grandfather Clock and (of course) Tom Terrific!
Carrots and ping pong balls are involved.
Florida GOP congressman Matt Gaetz apparently actually did think that a kangaroo court was one presided over by Captain Kangaroo:

Sounds like the democratics
Red’s at that very gullible age.
So I guess Lamb Chop is the Prosecutor and Daffy Duck leads the Defense Team.
A nice explanation for a kid that age in some ways – it brings the point across without getting into the messy details.
You’ll find out someday…2021 maybe?
What he doesn’t say is that, if found guilty, the prisoner is killed by a rain of ping pong balls
That place is gonna be hoppin’!
A great explanation until he took that left turn about half-way through.
ROFL
Very funny! I like it!
He left out Dancing Bear.
Not really, but he does know how to Dadsplain.
I hope the court sends him up for life.
Ah memories!
