Oh man! Hope the kid’s alright, that can’t be fun.

2 days later comes the warning from the daycare/school “There’s a small bug going around currently, so watch your children for fever, listlessness….” TOO LATE.
“Watch your children for fever, listlessness, and bouts of ‘oh sweet Jesus, why?'”

Any chance of creating a category for the “parenting” comics? With 4 kids of my own, I really enjoy every single one of them and would love to see them together.

Remember, people: That 87% doesn’t count the walls! Hey, I don’t make the rules. Splatoon does!
Being a Dad of 3 kids, I’ve seen this happen! Several years ago, there was a plague in our house. It struck my 3yo first. Vomit, diarrhea all over his bed and himself. Then it hit my daughter while out with her Girl Scout troop. She came home and complained that she didn’t feel good. Then it hit me… I was down… My wife and my older son had been out that weekend camping with the Boy Scouts. According to my wife, they had only been in the house for less than 30 minutes before leaving for the store to… Read more »
Well, mister Tim sir, it would turn out you are alot more polite than I am. My appologies for my language in my previous reply, but I felt it was justified. Good luck with the little one(s)!
Seriously? I don’t have children. I like to say I have nephews. Even so, I REALLY enjoy the strips that show what’s happening behind the scenes with Tim and his family. If you can’t write something nice, try not writing anything at all.
Well then, aren’t you a downright cunt? Fuck off somewhere else if you don’t like the comic and show some freaking respect for the author. Oh and in case I did not get my point across… NO. ONE. CARES. ABOUT. WHAT. YOU. THINK! Now, I realize that the same goes for me but hey I just thought it was my moral duty to call you out….
The inventor of the hand held shower wand and who ever made the “jet” setting deserve greater recognition.

Oh man, I feel your pain. My toddler constantly swings between stubborn, self-induced constipation and uncontainable diarrhea. Hopefully this was an episode, and not a “story-arc.”
Side note: Who is this bald, bearded gentleman? What’s your relationship? What interaction sparked this conversation? What is this blue void that appears to surround you? The questions abound.
Okay, I’m being sarcastic here, but it would actually be funny to do a meta comic sometime about what’s really going on in the background/setting of the “conversation snippet” comic format.

I have a 7yo and a 2yo! And I never attempted to analogize?! disasters like these with games! I don’t know Splatoon, but from context I can tell that you had one hell of a night! Rest well! For there are more battles to be fought!

Your timing is impeccable. I was just up till 4:48am with the same experience.
… I’m still not sure how that much fluid can come out of such a small person. 😐
oh gosh, and then a week later: Monday night the 2yr-old, Tuesday night my wife, Wednesday the 6yr-old, Thursday night me.

Been there, done that, just the other week with my two gems. You and your youngin’ have my sympathy.
Young children violate the laws of physics, thermodynamics, and mass conservation. There is no way that much foulness can come from such a small body and yet it does. If faster than light travel is invented, it is because we finally crack the physics behind just how much barfing/crapping preschoolers and kindergartners can do when sick.

Been there. I have 3 kids so my experience with this mirrors that of Padraic. It hit all 5 of us. As far as we could tell, our daughter picked it up from another kid at toddler group, just from playing with the same toy.
That was over a decade ago – my kids are all in their teens now. The biggest problem now is trying to get my 19 (soon to be 20) year old son to get off his fat arse and get a job…

What the strip didn’t show you was that Tim’s hair went completely white from this and that this is shit covering his hair now as a result of the cleanup. XD

I am relating to this strip too much. I dealt with this with my 2 yr old daughter a couple of weeks ago. Explosions out of both ends all night/morning. Keep up the great comics Tim! I love when you pull back the curtain a bit and let us see behind the scenes.

I know that feel bro
Anybody remember that scene from Daddy Day Care?
This one? https://media.giphy.com/media/Is6fBDegr2HUA/giphy.gif
Fun fact, that entire scene was improvised by Eddy Murphy lol
That’s Eddie for ya.

straight outta the exorcist
So I mean, my Tuesday was good.
ouchie…though you managed to save 13%
That might have just been Tim’s silhouette against the wall.
Oh god that makes the image in my head so much worse!

And this is why I will never have children, ever.
Sound advice.

eighty. seven. percent! thank you for reminding me one of the reasons im glad i wont have kids. *thumbs up* good work dad! keep it up.
Real question is: Was the father’s surface included in that 87% victory?
Plot Twist: The 13% left were the sink and toilet.
No one cares about your fucking kids.
Ooh, someone’s feeling saucy this morning.
And he’s not even the one that had to clean up.

So either we got a troll in the dungeon, or one of those “You should only be making comics that I like”
no one cares about your fucking mind hunny

CARES. ABOUT. WHAT. YOU. THINK! Now, I realize that the same goes for me but hey I just thought it was my moral duty to call you out….
Amen brother, this author is awesome
Why hello there hunny, why dont you go lick up that floor? Should be a snug fit for someone at your intelligence level.
Sometimes it’s just better to toss them in the tub, turn on the shower, and walk away…

Just remember, a paint spray gun can cover a whole wall from a little jar! It’s all about the pressure!
I’ve been dealing with the same the past 5 days. As soon as my 4 year old got better my wife caught it
