    Oddly enough, that’s about how I handle situations like that, too.

  2. Novil

    This is my favorite story arc so far. A great look at the personalities of your characters and perfect joke timing.

  3. Tbolt

    Hee, hee, there are some things that set a child off, and there are things that don’t. Reaping the consequences of one’s own actions probably makes sense to him! =^^=

    It’s almost as if Gill expected this a long time ago. ~ Joelyn Alexandra

    Priceless Gill response . . . just found, read and love the whole comic!

  6. Mike

    It just strikes me as very accurate to how Gill would respond in real life. Dad already hinted that he was in pretty big trouble with the law, so this news wouldn’t be a big shock to him… but running out of cereal, now THAT’S a problem!!

  7. buzz

    Norm, you are so wonderful at creating vivid, realistic, yet funny characters. Gill’s reaction is priceless — and perfect!

  8. Khard

    I think most people who know Gil’s dad are probably pretty surprised he didn’t end up in jail a long time ago.

  9. jrhather

    Just take it in stride Gil. Not like ya didn’t know it was going to happen….

  10. Keith

    Ugh … now I have to wait until Monday to see if he gets the cereal. And WHAT KIND!?!?!

    Great arc Norm.

  11. Retail Peon's Husband

    I’m with Keith.

  12. wolfdreamer

    It’s funny but that was almost my reaction the first time my father went to jail

  13. A.L.

    Good answer Gill.

  14. tonzilla

    “…and some more sugar to put on it…”

  15. Rubi

    Holy crap… started reading from the beginning, and now it’s 2:50 AM… son of a… got stuck in a time warp there, I guess…. *bookmarks to slide right back into the warp later*
