Teenagers. What a mess. Seriously. What is wrong with those things?? Seems like they’re always in a heap of depressive overemotionalism. Or they’re brooding silently ready to snap at any moment. And you can never tell which it is. Their over-hormoned manic state could erupt at any moment….and no, I’m not talking about acne.
As a rule though, I give teenagers a free pass. A get out of jail free card. You really can’t judge a teenager too harshly. Much like juvenile records and high school midterms, everything anyone ever does in between the ages of 14-18 should be completely disregarded and forgotten.
What’s that? You crashed the car?? Oh. You were 16. I see.
Hmm? You led the student body into a frenzied riot?! Oh…you were a senior in high school. I get it.
What? You robbed a bank by releasing a heard of hungry goats into the vault while perfecting your Rex Kwon Do on the bank’s manager?!? Actually, that’s just kind of awesome.
All is forgiven. I get it. I was a teenager once. I mean, I wasn’t weird or crazy or anything. I was completely normal. I certainly never got in to trouble. I mean, sure there was that incident with the desk…and that other one with the plastic forks…and that one with the water tower and the bow and arrow….
That was high school. I was a teenager. It doesn’t count.
Just went through your comic archives; love your strip! I just substitute “Giants” with “Brewers” and its perfect ;)
Ha! Awesome Jason! Thanks for reading! I’ll try not to post anything anti-Milwaukee next time the Brewers are in town.
Won’t see each other this year until the playoffs! ;)
