He should have gone with staples.

You’re not alone, Tex. I was nervous about starting school as a kid, too.

duct tape might work better.

Tex is a man who likes to make a grand entrance.

Come on, mom! What could go wrong?

I used to make my mom drop me off two blocks from the school, as I was embarrassed of our car. It would’ve made it even more difficult, yet more hilarious, if I was glued to said car.

The mom’s expression in the “smooch” panel! Ha-ha! The stuff of nightmares

I like the “tuck, tuck, tuck” and “smooch.” Despite all the loud voices and lost tempers, this is a very loving family.

Kids who are self-motivating, I like that!

Why not? You only live once and you need to grab all the gusto you can while you can.

Yeah, mom! SAFETY FIRST

I note the cow in space toy is still liked.
