Totally Tabular
I wouldn’t be that surprised to see someone with literally hundreds of tabs open. Maybe a little impressed.

The OG Grinch
The older I get, the more I sympathize with Grinch and Grendel type characters – they just want to chill in peace, you know? I think one day I could really lean into the whole “you kids get off my lawn” energy.

Mrs. Grinch
So there I was, minding my own business volunteering at an elementary school event, when my daughter walks by and decides to tease me. I was not even being grumpy at that time.

Ultra Filtered
Originally meant for this comic to be about throttling but then I didn’t draw it that way. Oh well.
-
Baseball Stats
Now I know a little about how the MVP voting works, and it is way more complicated than I expected.

Middle School Perks
I’m relieved that, so far, my middle schooler has said that it’s better than elementary school. Not clear on how much the food and the library are carrying the decision, but this was a conversation I overheard her having with her younger sibling.

This may be one of the more compelling reasons I’ve heard so far for return-to-office: that in-office culture is especially beneficial for folks starting out when they’re picking up good habits, skills, and domain knowledge.
