Starting a cootie collection?

I thought Flossie was his girlfriend.

Ignorance is bliss!

Awww, how cute!

33 years of marriage and this is still relevant.

thought at that age all girls are icky..

With four sisters growing up, you can bet I never had a girlfriend!

If either of them get a girlfriend it might be a miracle and the girls will give them a crash course in proper behavior…

Cue Jim Stafford and Spiders and Snakes

I think this is a not-so-subtle way of Benton asking if he could be Nerwin’s boyfriend. I understand comic strips have changed.

In a few more years nature will supply the answers.

Don’t worry. When you’re ready for a girlfriend, you’ll know what to do with her. What not to do, not so much.

Get one.. she will tell you what to do and when.

Never mind. Wanna play D&D?

Enjoy the freedom while you can.

it’s like asking Broomie what to do with a BOYFRIEND!

Poor Nerwin! I wonder what Flossie would say about this. And, of course, even poorer Benton—he’s so much like me….

Am I missing the joke here?
