I remember when baby seats for bicycles became a big thing (about the time this strip was first printed). There was a huge outcry that parents were putting their little kids at risk.
And that’s why Rerun has always been my favorite…. from the Charge of the Light Brigade…. to losing his shoes…. his bike riding adventures have always been interesting.
Looks familiar actually. I get nervous when I see people in heavy traffic at rush hour on major thoroughfares on bikes carrying kids! Or pulling those little wagons with a child in them. It looks unsafe to me, especially with so many reckless drivers on the road.

His big brother quotes the Bible, he quotes Tennyson. An interesting family. A minister and and English teacher perhaps.

Home again and probably in need of a change of diaper!

It didn’t turn out well for the 600, Rerun.

You would think Mom would take a hint from hearing Charge of the Light Brigade being quoted behind her…

Is Rerun going past a truck or train car in panel 3?

Can Rerun’s mom even hear what he’s saying.

Charge of the Light Brigade, the philosophy of all bicyclists riding to work in the city.

Those cannon were eventually captured and melted down and used to make Victoria Crosses.

I gotta say, I do admire his mom, very much! And Rerun is like Linus, but funnier.

I had to look if Rerun was singing a song, and I found is “Charge of the Light Brigade”

I never rode on the back of a bike, but this reminds me a LOT of being in the car when my mother drove

Panel 3. Best expression ever. The comparison to the Charge of the Light Brigade is next level hilarious.

Indeed the Charge of the Light Brigade contains a relevance even in these times. Not quite the intent that Rerun has – but relevance none the less.

Tennyson would have been so proud of your memory. Honor the charge they made, honor the life they gave, noble 600…….

Probably fewer Russian cannons on Rerun’s rides.

Poor Rerun looks like he’s seen reruns of his short life flashing before his eyes, several times over!

There’s actually a cylinder of Alfred Lord Tennyson reading “The Charge of The Light Brigade.” It’s pretty amazing!

At least he didn’t have a cocker spaniel trying to hip check him out in front of the trailer.

Wow! I’m surprised with you, Rerun! You know so many words for being a little kid whose only 3 or 4.

I have been reading Prince Valiant for decades, and he has never yet offered anything as exciting as these four panels.
