Hopefully he plays theatrical parts in a more convincing manner. His house is probably a facade with two by fours holding it up from the back so it does not fall over. (Probably why Brad and TJ tore up the walls in their house looking for Shannon as they know she can hide behind the wall of her dad’s house.

Honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but as bland and banal as the art is in that strip, it's really the aggressively bad parenting that we are supposed to laugh with and support that makes me just hate it.

What the gently caress is this? Is that a panel structure? A two panel? Some abomination of a one panel with a perspective like a face in Mark Trail? Is the nurse talking to the baby or is the baby talking to the other baby or what the gently caress.

Now, unironically!

quote:

She loves her dad, while Pru questions the duo idea that Shannon is so excited about. What a metaphor for Jonah and his responsibility toward his child. He does seem to be busy in acting, as a thespian, but is he also selfish and shallow, or just busy and a little diffident in being a father and parent? Brad has become such a man as a parent figure to Shannon, although of course having a fiance like Toni Daytona can help a man, man up! Jonah may not have that going for him. He is not as clearly bad as Leslie, or as mysterious as Piro, but being a parent is so important. Why is he that way.? Shannon loves her dad, children often do, but when will it become apparent to her that her dad is not the most loving father figure in her life? That might be one of the issues that face Toni and Brad as we approach the wedding date. That may be another reason he really does not like Brad. I smell the faint but unmistakable whiff of tension, jealousy and anger here between Brad and Jonah, with Toni in the middle, and Shannon being OH GOD the victim. Please lets work this out.

worlds-best-daddy said, about 19 hours ago
I bet Jonah has cancer and is taking treatments for it that is why he is always gone

quote:

I’ve a simple observation – unless I missed a strip or two somewhere – how on Earth did Jonah keep custody of Shannon; unless Shannon’s mother is deceased? Any family court would yank Shannon away and give her mother custody of her in light of Jonah’s behavior.
Help me out here people. If you can dig up the strips that I missed regarding Shannon’s Mom so much the better!
