I had always imagined Modesty and Willie as being a decade or so older than this. (Although I suppose this is the very beginning, and they have many adventures ahead.)

Kids start rebelling the second they figure out how to say "no". Usually that's there 2-3rd word after "Mommy" and "more".

The art is pretty ugly, but at least it looks like it was actually drawn and not just copy and pasted from a Luann asset library.

And while Brooke was always a horndog, I'm convinced that the stroke is what flipped his switch to Eternal Turbo-Pervert.

drat that's a fine StuG.

E: real life StuG IIIs from the Finnish Armoured Regiment.



The StuG, or Sturmgeschütz (Assault Gun) was Germany's workhorse during World War II, and its various models saw heavy use on all fronts throughout the war. Many of them were also sold to Finland to aid us in our war against the Soviet Union.
