I like how there’s more actual tangible proof of Mrs. Godfrey being as terrifying as she is, rather than just Nate’s consistent sour experiences with her.
Sure, I understand that it’s a cartoon and all, but in my perspective, kids who don’t know better can still take these examples and try them out in real life.
It’s kind of like with “fake prank” channels on YouTube. They have the resources to pull seemingly real violent and harmful “pranks” on the fake, but people can take these examples and try them out for real. Many people are just complete morons who haven’t been taught some decency, and it only takes one of these boneheads to cause a lot of damage and hysteria.
I’d like to suppress this potential conundrum before idiot 19-year olds start thinking that pulling fake bomb threats on the public is “funny”.
Hopefully these don’t go too far. Some people think “practical jokes” need people to literally get hurt or almost killed, like with the badger on this strip, and it doesn’t really feel right with me.
Yeah, that’s what Nate is actually doing. If Nate’s hands held the bar with his palms facing to the front instead of backwards, those would be Pull-Ups.
It would be even more nightmarish if that was an urn.
