It's nice the way the ant-father doesn't even bother waiting for his ant-son's reply after asking how his day was yesterday. Instead, he just picks up the newspaper and begins reading, as he no doubt does every day whenever his ant-son is around. That's quality comics section parenting right there.Given this, it appears that the ant-son has participated in some newsworthy act of delinquency with the intent of garnering some attention from his neglectful ant-father. It seems unlikely to work, however.
It should go without saying that all of this is hilarious.
I think the joke is that whatever the kid did is in the paper, and that's why he's going to his room for 3 months ...
ReplyDeleteNo, I know that. I'm just pointing out that the father doesn't appear to have any intention of actually listening to what his son has to say, given that after asking his question in the first panel he immediately picks up the newspaper and begins reading in the second panel. I'll clarify.
