These are very funny cartoons. Bob, your thoughts are wonderful here and on so many other Post features.
Oh, these cartoons leave me wanting to watch a good black & white ’50s ‘B’ movie featuring juvenile delinquents. These teens aren’t that bad, but naturally I still has some observations, and a few choice words on some:
1.) Such an absurd thing to say, but ‘toon perfect here.
2.) Dad’s facial expression combined with what his reply is just soooo ’50s, isn’t it?
3.) Very interesting and unexpected.
4.) “Maybe…”
5.) “You’ve got my sympathy!”
6.) “Honey, keep on experimenting, then ask me again later.”
7.) I’d just like to know how those dishes got sooo piled up like that. Mom’s hair has me worried.
8.) “That’s right! So here ya go—start digging!”
9.) “Mary Lou, stop it right now! Get your butt out from under that bed, he’s a respectable young man. This is what I get with a daughter that never experienced the tough times of the Depression and World War II! NOW, young lady! Chop chop!”
