“Tragic Canoe Accident”

February 5, 2024November 3, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Ursula is bored as her grandmother drones on about family history and her grandfather reads the paper, oblivious.
Ursula is bored as her grandmother drones on about family history and her grandfather reads the paper, oblivious.
Just wait til you hear about Great-Great Aunt Mildred’s sister-in-law’s bunions, kiddo…

 

Ursula shouldn’t have said she needed to write an essay on family history if she didn’t want to get a book’s worth of information from Grandma Agnes.

Kaboom! Kaboom!

February 7, 2024November 2, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Ursula asks Noah about how he met Ruth.

“Kaboom Kaboom” is actually a kinda romantic song, at least by Marilyn Manson standards… so he was probably singing something more like “Slutgarden.”

The Dad Tax

February 7, 2024November 1, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Ursula comes to Noah looking for candy, only to find Noah's been eating her Halloween haul.

Today’s the day that Ursula learns about taxation. And the Dad Tax is always worse when you question his tales of his own trick-or-treat efforts as a kid.

Happy Halloween!

February 7, 2024October 31, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Ursula complains about having to go trick-or-treating when Noah has tons of candy at home. He sends her out anyway.

Never question a man’s boyhood dedication to the pursuit of candy.

February 7, 2024October 28, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Miss Fardemar is annoyed by Ursula's nasty cartoon of her, but Noah finds it funny.

Noah’s gonna have to keep his cartridges locked up.

Ursula’s Reading Habits

February 7, 2024October 27, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Noah's parent-teacher conference with Ursula's teacher Ms. Fardemar continues. Ms. Fardemar says "I'm also concerned about Ursula's reading. She—" Noah interrupts her, saying "What? Ursula's a great reader!" Ms. Fardemar continues "Reading material, not ability. She's done book reports on 'The Anarchist Cookbook,' 'The Art of War,' and 'The End of School." Noah retorts "So?" Ms. Fardemar adds, "She also keeps asking when we'll learn to make C4 in science class." Completely missing the point, Noah says "I told her 100 times: C4 is the middle note on the piano."

When I was in school, back when the internet was just bulletin boards, one of my pals had a printout of what was supposed to be The Anarchist Cookbook.
