    I’m so glad these are re-runs. I love OBH and don’t remember seeing these.

    Sometimes one has to pull down the genes to make sure.

    I love Ruthie’s face in frame 2. She knows that question is trouble.

    Taking off the child’s hat should help a bit

    Might be a gender mixed person. But usually the doctor will ‘assign’ gender. Sometimes they get it wrong.

    Take the hat and coat off then you will know.

    She got the correct answer for the question she asked. I used to have to correct my kid’s elementary school teachers’ assignments when the teacher was ignorant of the meanings of “or” and “and.” (Or the meanings of “or” or “and.”)

    Somewhat pedantic — a simple comma after “boy” would “correct” the meaning, particularly for spoken language. Who is really going to ask full-out, “Are you a boy or are you a girl?”?

    I think the phrasing is ambiguous at most, and not at all outside of deliberate humor.

    I got in trouble in 1st grade for saying half of 8 is 3.

    When GoComics first started re-running 2002, I think in September, they weren’t in the archive. I see it’s been updated. This originally ran November 28, 2002.

    Old joke. I’ve seen it in Cracked (or MAD, one of those).
