Panel 1: They're just little kids. They'll gain the strength and learn to throw with a brick tied to it and aim for Mommy's head when they get older.
Dont throw at Daddy because though it's Monday they still havent sat down in days because their rear ends are still bright red from what Daddy did to them after they dared to awaken him without Mommy there on Saturday. Also, there will be no Saturday morning TV for the next six months either. Instead Saturday mornings will be spent listening to Mommy read Daddy's writings to them. Oh yes, from now on Mommy becomes the full time human target for Super Teddy with no repercussions.
Panel 2: Dee demonstates how she mildly scolds Genius for teaching the kids about Super Teddy...for Dee that's her equivalent of an Elly psychotic rampage...all those anti-depressants she pops you know. And of course Genius reads Editor and Publisher with his coffee. We're not trying to suck up to that editor who proclaimed FBOFW the "greatest single comic strip of all time" even above Calvin, Peanuts, Pogo, and Krazy Kat, are we Lynn?
Panel 3: His Divine Genius says "I think it's kinda funny" leaving off the part "unless I'm the target then I get my belt and show the kiddies what screaming really is". Dee is quite correct in her reply; everything he did or does now is not always funny. There are times when His Divine Genius does things that are enlightening or wise or shining with the light of Divinity...but not always funny. They are however always correct and it is not Dee's place to question them. Dee remembes this in the next panel.
Panels 4 & 5: His Divine Genius reminds Dee that she did a few things as a kid. Of course he had to phrase things to form a pun as Pattersons are wont to do.
Dee is smiling as she recalls her childhood memory because she knows that she has found freedom from Mira's jackboot by marrying this divine man of hers for whom she works full time and raises two kids all alone by her lonesome. Oh yes Mira does have a jackboot....in the last panel we dont get to see the area of Dee's face that Mira kicked in with her jackboot for daring to deface the wall...and if she doesnt clean the wall completely an even worse unspeakable fate will happen...
Then again, maybe Dee's smile is from all those pills she took just before Super Teddy got her in the back.
Mira does get a slight complement in the strip. Notice that she is wearing a white slipper. Despite when the Pattersons may assert, Mira has regular human feet NOT cloven hooves. Of course the jury is still out on the pointed tail.
Off to more hybrid. Please be gentle with me. Dont aim for the face or nether regions when throwing things at me please. ;)
