I'm surprised at the set up of the bag, how are you supposed to any footwork without tripping over the base?

BenRG:
I approve of today's comic for various reasons. However, the main one is that I've long wanted an arc where Bubbles becomes Sam's Sensei-sama. I think it would do Sam good to learn discipline and I think that it would do Bubbles good to find something positive to do with her military training.

To me, such a development would be recognising something of which I've been increasingly aware with regard to the Bean family: Whilst Jim is a loving and responsible parent, it's a simple fact that he doesn't have enough time to teach things that Sam really needs to know about responsibility, discipline, politeness and the like. On the other hand, Faye and Bubbles are in the perfect position to do this and both have the benefit of having personal bad experiences to know why the lessons are so important.

Sam probably isn't doing any 'footwork'. Right now, she's learning to punch without breaking her wrist.

P.S.:
I just want to express my full approval for Sam's stated ambition about 'what she wants to be when she grows up'. It's totally nonsensical, of course, but it just feels right for a young teenager who likes the things she likes. It reminds us that, yes, she is still a child.

If thats the case then Bubbles is a poor teacher, check out where Sams feet are in relation to the bag. For Sam to be hitting the bag properly she'll be having lean forward and be off balance

Yeah I know its nit picking but if you're going to set up a character as being a combat bad ass, like Bubbles, then you have to have her demonstrate even a slight knowledge of fighting

I mean I'm not saying hes as bad as David Willis but its the details you know
