I always found that if I knew mom would say no, I’d ask dad, and vice versa. A common child tactic, that few of us grow out of. :)

Sometimes I get lost in thought like this, forget who is thinking what about who.
I can’t find my copy of book#2 to get you the translation from Russian. Will look again in the morning.
In fiction I find it fun when people actually things that expressions are made of. In reality, tell a clown to “stop clowning around” and you will get the driest most painful you’ve ever seen.
It’s good when people are smart enough to see danger signs.
A funny twist on Bruno. She brought the circus in on Stanley (practically), and now she’s feeling overwhelmed and considering leaving the mess for his to clean up.
It was interesting writing the strip when the protagonist had complex feelings which I often simultaneously identified with and was repelled by.
I did a lot of reading before I wrote the circus bit, and I found the analysis of lion/bear taming fascinating. There’s only SO tame one can get.
Also, when I was in marching/concert band in high school, Monty Python was often being quoted. This was from the exploding man from “The Meaning of Life.”
And the crazy rolls in. Why does life do this to us sometimes?
Oh, and I read that Russian phrase “you hang noodles on my ears” in an article in high school, and kept the article because I found the phrase so bizarre. When writing this strip I was dating a woman who grew up in Russia, and I was able to ask her what it meant: basically “you’re pulling my leg.”
Ah, feeling overhwelmed by crowds.
I love physics, and often think of it in practical day-to-day life. I also find it to be a funny “straight-man.”
