Schoolhouse Rock

In today's Dinette Set, Timmy seeks help from unhelpful sources while the reader seeks:
  • An answer to the question: Where are Timmy's parents and why do they constantly abandon him to Dale and Burl?
  • A new comic that does not dredge up memories of Algebra in search of a joke that, in the end, remains elusive.
  • To understand why 90% of every one's face is blank space.

I'd buy mugs labeled "Up Yours" and "Shut Up." Time for Dinette Set to start merchandising!

Since Timmy mentions that it's his summer math book, there's no need to label it, right? And since we see what should be the back cover, it wouldn't have a title anyway, right? But Ms. Larson's desperate urge to fit in almost unreadably tiny words in every possible space overrides these logical concerns and sure enough, if you look hard enough, the back of the book says Summer Math.
