Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for November 17, 2013

Oh Clem you little buzz kill. Your dad didn’t help build that so you won’t have memories like Pasquale will have so there you little brat.

I know a boy like that. He’s the most miserable child I know

you guys are right of course … but still … wouldn’t it be cool to have one of those??!!

In Halethorpe/Arbutus, Maryland they still have a soap box derby every 4th of July. I lived near the top of the hill and still have wonderful memories of the look on each child’s face as they sat in their home-made cart at the starting line. And there was not one “Clem” in the bunch!!!

This reminds me of the “IT” vehicle invented by Mr. Garrison on “South Park.” I wonder if it has the same main control.

It’s more fun if it has a motor in it.

This kid don’t need any toys for Christmas…he already has them!

Spoiled overindulged kids like Clem are the sociopaths of the future – I’m glad that Rose and Jimbo are keeping it real!

Yep — South Park flashback here, too. Eww.

Clem can have all of the cool gadgets, but he will always lack things that money can’t buy.

Show off.

In the twenty-something years that I have been reading this strip, that is the coolest gizmo that I have seen.But it’s not the first time that Clem has upped the ante with some serious gear.
