I hope Marten doesn't get jealous that his mother is showing Sam more "normal" parental treatment than he has gotten...Jim and she are certainly growing as parents since they started dating
BenRG:
The thing that really strikes me about today's strip is how broken up Sam is about not being able to use power tools any more. I mean, okay, she was enjoying playing with them but to that degree? I'm wondering just how infrequent it is that Jim draws these red lines.
You also learn a lot about Sam by the fact that Jim finds her being quiet and introspective seriously abnormal!
That aside... I honestly feel that Jeph had problems with this strip. It feels a little forced somehow, as if he had the idea for the story but couldn't quite make the dialogue flow smoothly.
OldGoat:
The "no power tools" edict will last a couple weeks. 13 is plenty old to learn to use a Dremel - some of us were wielding soldering irons at 11 - and Sam is probably comingg up on 15 fast. (Of course this was back when A. C . Gilbert chemistry sets actually had jars of chemical with test tubes and alcohol lamps too boot. Funny, middle schools STILL acquire craters in their sidewalks in spite of such things vanishing from the market sometime in the late '60s.)
MrNumbers:
Veronica might have been a little... laissez faire... but Marten turned out pretty great. Good parent teamup.
oeoek:
Grin, Jim is a struggling a bit to keep up with Sam growing up. Time to bring out the dad-jokes as a counter measure!
