Do you think this commenter doesn’t know the story of the flood? This comic strip doesn’t indicate the ark is atop a mountain. This commenter was making a joke, being that “Why is it up here on a mountain?” being something the potential buyer was asking. And the story was that the whole world was flooded. The top of the mountain didn’t appear until the waters started receding. According to the Bible. It’s a fun story to read, but doesn’t fit with other recorded histories at that same time period.
I’ll never understand how so many modern parents will let their children dictate the dinner menu. Our grandparents generation never would have imagined that and would put a stop to the nonsense in no time flat. My kids ate what we gave them and their “option” was to eat or go without. They’ll eat when they get hungry enough!
I’ve been reading this strip for 30 years and I’ve always seen Darryl as being a pretty hands-on dad. This trope of the man of the house being a big sniveling useless child when he’s sick is tired and played out. If that’s where they’re going with this strip, they’re doing a disservice to a good parent character.
Wasn’t the storyline last week that the two gift each other practical items like furnace filters? So now Opal is bellyaching because her practical gift is wrapped in practical wrap? I think Earl gave her just what she desires most: something to complain about.
