Hey, love the GIJoe bit, but those kids are strangely completely different in the second panel. Or is that part of the joke?

Love the strip, by the way. I've been sharing it with friends.

I guess someone didn't watch their G.I. Joe public service announcements often enough, eh? If you pay attention, you'll notice that the ethnicity of the kids frequently changes from scene to scene. I'm not just talking about skin colour, either...I mean hair styles and facial features, too. For example, in the one about pulling the fire alarm when there's no fire, two white skinned, blonde haired kids are walking down the street. Then, upon having the idea to commit an evil act (in this case, pull the fire alarm...when there's no fire!!!) they suddenly become Hispanic. Then, when Barbecue shows up to correct them, they're suddenly very Aryan again. The lesson here? Evil thoughts make you Hispanic!!!
Also...what was up with those Joes hanging around kids' houses, anyways? I mean, in the one where the kids decide to take their dad's medication, Doc pops up in the window to warn them against it...the bathroom window. What the hell was Doc doing outside their bathroom window, I ask you?!? What possible reason could an army medic have for peering voyeuristically into a bathroom window where two children are home alone?!? And why were they home alone?!? AND WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THAT GUY'S HEAD?!? Sorry...little in-joke there.
Anyways...now you know why the kids changed ethnicity...and knowing is half the battle!!!
YO JOE!!!
