WCDT Strips 3806-3810 (13-17 August 2018)
LustFilledRunza:
No power-tools?
Worst punishment ever.
Bad Superman:
This could get tricky for Sam.
Visiting the shop means being surrounded by powered machinery. Shiny… blinking… exotic… machinery…
Tempting, to say the least.
But, I think we have seen some growth in her character last week, so I'm optimistic.
jesslc:
So I gather that Sam would usually argue with punishments laid down by her dad. Good thing Jim has Veronica to explain to him what's happening :roll:
Also I like the middle ground of allowing her back to the shop to visit or do her sprays, but not allowing power tools. And I think it's likely that down the track that restriction will be lifted... (as Sam shows a bit more sense/after she has some formal safety instruction/after Bubbles reassures Jim that she'll watch Sam closely at all times/something like that).
Edit: Maybe Sam's next birthday* present will be after school metalworking class or equivalent. Like how Jim was initially horrified that Faye let Sam play with swords but much later in the strip it turns out he's letting her do sword fighting lessons - a bit of a "she's going to do it anyway, so let's put her in formal instruction where safety precautions are assured (well, probably)".
Faye may be good at metalwork but she's not an experienced trainer used to having to anticipate all the foolish things students might do. Bubbles would probably be good at it and I could see Jim coming round to that, but I also wouldn't be surprised if his peace of mind benefits more from putting Sam in an actual class. (Also I'm no expert, but insurance for training people is a thing. That Union Robotics definitely wouldn't have.)
* I think her next birthday is probably her 16th. I know we didn't see her turn 15 but she's not in the strip that frequently and I feel like it's been long enough. (A super dedicated person could probably count how many winters the strip has had since we found out Sam was 14 but unfortunately I'm not up to that).
brasca:
Fair enough punishment.
She can still do sprays, but not handle power tools which didn’t seem to interest her until she saw Bubbles handle a concrete saw so it’s not like he’s destroying a lifelong dream of hers.

And is it just me, or does it seem Veronica has aged quite a bit? Maybe being in the same house as Sam has done it?

It's the grey hair streaks, her face looks the same but she might have stopped dying it since she started living the domestic life
