can someone explain this one to me. I think I must be either too old or too dumb (or both) to comprehend it.

i don't get it either. and why is there a very small adult in the stroller?

The woman in the third panel doesn't approve of other people having harmless fun, that's all.

Yeah, I'm not sure I get this either.

Like, what exactly does this have to do with the Santa Claus parade? This (somewhat unrealistic) slice of life could have happened anywhere, at any time.

I say "unrealistic," because if some guy knocked into me with a baby carriage and started laughing idiotically about it, I'd probably be less than likely to join him in his laughter.

No...I'd probably be more likely to splash my scalding coffee into his face and then pound him repeatedly in the gut while yelling at his crying child, "LOOK AT YOUR DADDY NOW!! LOOK AT HIIIMMMMMMM!!!"

No doubt, Hipster Velma and Daphne over there would probably again voice their misanthropic disgust at my supposed immaturity. But then, I'd surely notice their sarcastic speech bubbles and...out come the ol' fists again.

Sigh. It's hard to be a sociopath in the big city.

The guy who got bumped seems to be laughing tho'...

Little Orphan Annie needs to lighten the hell up.

The adult men are the real kids. GET IT?! GET ITTTT?!

Knowing that, I still don't really get the point of this comic.

Mmmh, I dunno. It didn't quite make me laugh, BUT I was caught in the middle of the Santa Claus parade crowd yesterday and it was kind of annoying. It's not the kids, it's the parents... and the strollers! Ooops, did I just sign super bitter or what?

I admit that I've dodged the parade the past couple of years after seeing my life pass before my eyes while being squeezed by the crowd at the NE corner of Bloor and Bathurst.

How come the guy isn't wearing pants?
