    “you skin into the house” is a new one for me

    Also, that looks less like a switch and more like a fucking cane. Mr. True went easy on this fella

      I dunno, a shovel to the back of the head could easily kill someone.

      I thought this was an interesting cartoon because Everett isn’t objecting to the corporal punishment, but to the hypocrisy of the neighbor.

      Back then, hitting your kid with a stick was considered good parenting. Nowadays, hitting your kid is illegal in much of Europe and Latin America.

      Really? What came is shorter than someone’s legs and ends in a point?

      Looks like a whippin’ stick to me

      You know, “go find me a stick”?
