Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for April 25, 2015

Salesmanship.

My fellow men sure no how to stretch the truth.

Boys will be boys. Unless…well never mind.

Wally is awesome.

Indeed, Wally knows what to say to Max—and I’m glad he isn’t trying to be PC about it. That’s exactly how little kids think, and like it or not, especially little boys. It’s ok though, mine grew up to be good, law-abiding members of society in spite of it. All these family members are authentic, which is why the strip is so much fun to read.

As kids back in the 50s we learned to take 5 popsicle sticks (saved them from our ice cream truck purchases) and make what we called “Flying Saucers”. When my son was old enough I taught him but called them “Exploding Ninja Stars”Exploding Ninja Stars

you have to speak their language :D (I would have liked one, as a little girl!)

Phd’s have to publish “something” no matter how trivial, or their certificates will fade and they will be sneered at on the playground.

Good job Wally.

Little boys (not all of them) but most of them like pretending they’re fighting aliens or whatnot. It’s a healthy thing
