    One of the simple facts of life, nobody can fight like brothers.

    Nothing like a sibling for a punching bag. Unless you happen to be the smaller one.

    Apparently, that wasn’t all it did . . still talking about it . . but that can really help . .

    I wonder why we never met the siblings?

    And maybe his parents got him the punching bag toy in an effort to reduce him punching his siblings.

    My wife’s plane landed at 4:00pm, yesterday. All my wife wanted was pizza and to go see the lights, the city put up. Then we watched “The Christmas Story”, with my wife being smothered by the kids. It was great.

    But it was really great, after the kids went to bed. That pool table might be hard, but it was closer than the bedroom.

    I have a younger brother and for years he would punch me for no reason. One day when college was on a break, I came home and naturally he punched me. I looked him in the eye and said, “Guess what?” PUNCH “You big enough I can punch back.” End of punching.

    Little brother? I’ve been following this strip for a long time and I don’t remember any siblings for Arlo or Janis. Is this a lead up to a new story arc?

    My big brother was like that. Until the day I was big enough to pick him up and put him in the hedges.

    On the other hand, his little brother does think they were wrong to give him that punching bag!

    Neer remember siblings for either Arlo or Janis. None for Gene either. A lot of only children in this strip.

    Punching bags were great. It taught the nerds how to fight back the bullies.

    I used to wrestle with my friend’s giant inflatable Godzilla back in the day.

    How does one give a thumbs down to one of these daily strips?

    I was that younger brother who became that punching bag for an older brother. Not fun!

    I was the smallest of three. I developed the habit of swinging around with a punch whenever my brother came up behind me and tickled me…until one day, my dad came up behind me and tapped my shoulder. Fortunately, he understood, and spoke to my brother about not sneaking up on me anymore.

    OK. But why did they give Arlo a Star Trek:TNG yellow shirt?
