He does specify that this is his stupid cousin.

There looks to be a sizable age difference between them, so yeah, it's quite possible he would call his cousin Uncle.

The original was the guy straining his right arm when throwing rocks with kids. This one is him clutching his left arm, dying of a heart attack.

Pros and Cons
Yes! I love Pros and Cons!

Yesterday I read the comics out loud to a 4 year old. It's been a long time since I read the comics from the paper all the way through them like that, and I was struck by how truly boring they really were. This thread is pretty entertaining, but I guess that's because we skip a lot of the crap like Sherman's Lagoon and Blondie and all those strips that are really no more than filler.

Like 75% of them (of the ones that are supposed to be funny, at least) were New Year's resolutions "jokes," FYI.

Well, technically "cousin" just means "relative", so your nephew actually is your cousin.

Pros and Cons



The Pros & Cons comic, Supposed a Knave, is really good too. It's basically the same as the strip, but it's a complete story as well as being funny.

It's probably too much to hope for, but if that's Ken Kensington I'll be really happy.

That's definitely true before his fourth drink and after his thirteenth drink. But if you catch him in the 5-8 drink zone, he's pretty chill. (From the ninth to the twelfth he just rants about how much he hates Italians.)

Huh. I wasn't very aware of this strip except by name, now I wish I had been. Nice to see some cartoonists closing out with class.

(Especially given some of the strip-end diatribes and meltdowns we've seen in recent years.)
