Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for March 04, 2015

@Pasquale

Go find Calvin and Hobbes, maybe they can help you find something to do…

Calvin would just make obscene snow sculptures.

Oh, how I wish I could send the kids outside! I live in the northeast, where the temperatures have consistently been in the 20’s and 30’s all February, and the snow has turned to ice. Except that it’s now raining and above freezing, and everything’s a wet, sloppy mess! Sorry for the rant. Can I go and play with Pasquale now?

That’s not realistic at all. In reality, he’d be playing Angry Birds or Mindcraft

Careful here – you might be charged with Unsubstantiated Neglect for sending your child outside.

So now Rose has the TV to herself…

i thought pasquale and his guardian played in the snow all the time. i guess even pasquale is pretty sick of winter.

Yes it is, and one Watterson has been unable to completely squash.

Stupid colorist — yellow jacket sleeves in the 2nd panel, and green in the 3rd.

Free range parents of this sort are liable to be arrested by the nanny gestapo and charged with child endangerment for something like this .
