   Carmy, he’s a big brother. It’s his job.

   It’s so funny how Mike is being mean to that little Swedish girl. No, what’s really funny is the same woman who was complaining about the quality of the clothes in yesterday’s strip was so cheap she got a bunch of school supplies for the older kid and absolutely nothing for the younger kid at the same time. Not to worry though. Lizzie will soon teach her a valuable lesson.

   Well, actually Lizzie IS about to get something. She gets the house and its toys all to herself while Michael is in school!

   Good job BuzzDog!
   Plus, she gets Ellie all to herself…hhmmm…maybe not a good trade.

   I was thinking close to the same thing…wait ‘till Mike comes home with too much homework!!

   Or worse yet, when his friends “like” her!!

   Lizzie will get hers in the end!

    That’s right. Soon he’ll find out he doesn’t want to get up in the morning and school is work.

    That moment of lots of new back to school stuff was about the only part of school I ever liked.

    I remember the week BEFORE school was “all that!” I got new clothes, new shoes, new supplies. Then I had to go to school :(

    My older brother was like that, too, when we were little. MUST be a big brother thing. Are they born that way, or does somebody come along and teach them to be buttholes?

    Speaking as the oldest sibling in my family, algurka, I can attest that gloating is a privilege that belongs to older siblings only, and that it helps us get even for the fact that you younger siblings always get away with stuff that would have gotten us the death penalty! :P

    I had the best (worst) of both. I had an older brother who treated me like that and a younger brother who was sooo easy to bait.

    Michael doesn’t speak Standard American English; after all, he’s Canadian.

    I had a Canadian friend who saw Don Harron, the comedian who played the radio news man for KORN on the TV show, “Hee-Haw.” Sandy said that the accent Harron used was how folks talked in the Ottawa Valley in Canada. But, Harron was born in Toronto.

    I totally agree. I’m the oldest of 10 and all my younger siblings got away with everything. The only problem was when I got to high school, I didn’t get new school clothes anymore. Had to get a job, but it matures you!

    Awww, check out her face in the last panel! Poor Lizzie! Baby girl, you should just grab onto that cheeky tongue of Michael’s and teach him a lesson. He’ll start blubbering “I’m thorry Lithie! I’m THORRY” in no time! xD

    it’s weird how older sibling can be envious of younger
