They are in SUCH trouble...
Travis, this is another one of those posts where I heap some well-deserved praise on you. You have a juggling act here that's fun to watch just for the technical expertise involved.
You have a simple plot, good humour, and characters that appear to be stereotypes at first glance, a rigid format, and yet, you manage to keep all the balls in the air and moving.
Even strips like this one that have no punchline are still funny. You write kids as kids, not as small adults, but you still let them bring the funny without making them smart asses (which is the easy way out). While you occasionally have jokes fall flat, your success record is actually above average compared to my local newspaper's comic page.
The only thing keeping your comic from being huge at the moment is the small archive, but now that you have passed the 50 mark, I am going to be expecting more success for you.

wow, Thank you Eagle! I have started to enjoy people taking more than one night to read everything I've created thus far. The jokes are the hardest part! I know Gag comics get some grief for being easy sometimes, but the only thing easy is doing it wrong. Sometimes I just can't find the funny to fit the situation, but I'm happy to get a laugh where I can. I'm hoping to build on some running gags a little, and set up a few laughs across strips, but that comes with time.
