How to Instruct a Trainee

I’m particularly proud of panel three. There’s something about incompetent cursing that always amuses me. I think it has to do with the idea that if you’re shouting insults and profanities at someone it’s already a sign that you’ve lost control of the situation. The idea that you then curse badly makes it even more pathetic.

Once, when I was in high school, my brothers and I went to visit my father and his second wife. We were in dad’s backyard when the kid next door, probably around eight years old, decided to shout insults at my father. Normally my brothers and I might not have found that funny (I say might. There’s a pretty good chance we would have, actually.), but in this case it was 100% hilarious, because the child chose to call our father a “boob butt brain.”
