I just want to say that I love Devils Panties. I love that it is like half the time political and half the time not. I don't really know why, I just like that every day you don't know quite what to expect, but it is pretty consistently good.

I find it consistently bland but I'll give it its own identifiable style.

It’s like an autobiographical Calvin & Hobbes (meant as a compliment)

It's a version of the old (and, no longer accurate) joke: a mom knows her child's favorite foods, who their best friends and when their birthdays are, the names of their teachers, and their favorite crayon color. The farther knows some short people are living in the house.

Why is it no longer accurate? Maybe you meant to way it is not generally true, but it is certainly accurate as a description for my own family.

I didn't have the impression that he is generally, I figured this was more a case of what you grow up with is normal - to the point that he didn't even pick up on it!

The joke is that I have oversimplified the context.

...I am very unobservant. (Especially early in the morning!)

Lololol all good, my friend.

Yeah I read it that way too. Like his kid is perfect just the way they are... and his mom is perfect just the way she is too.

I was 28 before my mom told me I've had a lazy eye since I was a teen.
