Huey: A child, pre-adolescent, forced into labor by local authorities. Incredibly long hours, sweltering, dangerous working conditions, a miserable existence with little hope of bettering one's lot in life... ...All for virtually no compensation... You know, Nike was in a lot of trouble with Garry Trudeau because of this kind of thing!! Granddad: Shut up and mow the lawn, boy! And who's Garry Trudeau?!

This was a great strip, sorry the economics forced McGruder to quit. As good as Far Side or Calvin & Hobbes.
