Hello fellow Far Side fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.
The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

You're thinking way too deep into it. It's not like that in real life. There is no attack, no ignorance. It has nothing to do with pride. It's just natural seeing things a million times and categorizing it the best you can. You don't understand how much kids watch the same exact stuff over and over and over and over and over and over. Its the same with video games.
If you could spend time with your kids 24/7 then sure, you'd be fine easily knowing and recognizing every single character they're interested in. That's just simply not realistic though.
Yeah I don't understand how a parent can not think deeply about their relationship with their kids. I don't think there should be such a thing as "thinking too deep" about anything to do with how to raise a kid.
Very likely they do think deeply about their relationship with their kids. Bringing it back to the comic: being hopeful their kid's interests translates to a successful and in demand career? Deep connections can be based on very simple, basic concepts.
The depths of the ocean can't be measured by the waves breaking on the shoals.
Thank you for your continued inexperienced opinion on the matter. Feel free to blindly advise people on other subjects you have zero experience in.
I just explained it to you. Come on.
