Isn't Kate his sister? Shouldn't his sister know if she has a nephew before he is eight years old? When was the last time they saw each other? I think "I'm a single parent and have been for eleven years and just never told you about it" would be a hell of a bomb to drop right before her wedding, so as far as not ruining her day, I think that has gone out the window
Ralph
on page 257
Or will she wonder why the kid looks just like he did at 11. I know some kids look slightly like a parent, but to be an exact copy? Really rare
TurtleEmpire
on page 257
I'd assume he would say that he only just met him as well. As in, the mother suddenly showed up or some such.
Yochanan
on page 257
In Ant-Man, Hank Pym said to Darren Cross that he mentored him "Because I saw my self in [him]". Sounds like a sound reason for adoption.
Lokitsu

@Yochanan: That sounds more like the punchline to a pedophilia joke.

Darren was a grown man!

Is anyone concerned how everyone is dressed? Is this a casual/informal wedding? I lost track of time - is the wedding today, or the next day and they're just visiting before the big day?
Don

time is weird. It's even weirder in timeless space.
Clarison
on page 257
This is only my assumption but i would think either whats going to happen is that his best friend the groom would have already told her about the younger self, or that she is too caught up in the wedding to ask any questions. Or it could totally come out of left field and spurn another comic strip in explaining the situation to anther person :) (understand that it takes work to come up with comics and do not mean to sound like i'm not completely happy you are making it).

Charlie is so sensative about looking like a girl, yet refuses to cut his hair.
...
...
I love it. I've known a few people like that.

The lengths Ash would go to see Charlie in a dress... Actually, considering everything in this page alone, she didn't need to reach far.
Mujaki

@Double Bogey: I believe they're just going for a visit before the big event.

@lokitsu you're right, that does sound like a pedo joke.

Wouldn't their sister recognise him? I mean "he looks exactly like you at his age... wait"
Kid Cthulhu
on page 257
The constant gender-bending humor reminds me of Shakespeare. And I mean that in a good way. Also, Charlie missed his chance to quip, "And who's Ash? Your son?"
Wally
on page 257
I think that in the first panel, when Sam says to Charlie, "...so you're my son alright?" He means Charlie is Sam's son to the other guests. That way Kate doesn't have to answer difficult questions... I'm sure Johnny has already filled Kate in on the situation... this way all can be clarified for Kate's benefit at a later, more convenient time.

A: "Now to upload this to the iCloud!"
S: "Ash... you remember when you promised not to tell anyone about my secret time-travelling younger self?"
A: "Yeah?"
S: "Then maybe we should not be posting pictures of my secret time-travelling younger self on the internet where the people TRYING TO MURDER HIM can use them to track his location?"
A: "Oh... uh.. oops?"
C: "WITCHCRAFT!!!"

Well of course girls can pee standing.
The question is, can they do so without making a mess?

C: "Don't look!"
A: "What's his problem?"
S: "He doesn't want you to see that he took his sheep to bed with him."
C: "SAM!!!"

S: "...how does an 11 year old girl know jokes like that?"

Well it's a long story, involving a prank, the ease of uploading photos to the internet in the 21st century, and the many-strips-ago mentioned unfortunate reputation New Zealanders have for doing inappropriate things to sheep.
On a tangentially related note. NEVER visit John's facebook page.

I'm betting this is Sam/Charlie's "not so little anymore" sister.
Charlie. "Holy shit. I forgive John."
Sam. "Eww, kid. Just eww."

She's 11, AND has a computer. Also pretty sure sex-ed has covered "it" by now, unless the Aussie education system does things very differently.

Probably Ash is still just blushing over shirtless boys and the idea of weiner pictures. It's not like her face capillaries have an on/off switch.

@Link2Hyrule Yes he does, but at age 27, he doesn't embarrass NEARLY as easily as an 11 year old.
Also his primary concern should be more along the lines of being arrested for dealing in child pronography.

Tilt your head FORWARD so that the blood pools and clots, rather than continuing to poor down your throat. It will eventually clot the other way too, but it will take a fair bit longer.

Me, I would deliberately leave some porn for 11 year old me to find... vanilla stuff he'd appreciate. gotta carefully remove anything that would terrify him into asexuality.

Fingerprinting is a pretty weak "science" as it is. It doesn't conclusively prove much of anything. That line about "Fingerprints are like snowflakes; no two are the same" is horseshit. That's cut from the marketing pitch they used to get police departments to adopt the "science" when it was new.

Jr. and Sr. high schools would have computer labs by 2000, certainly, but I'm not even sure if that many Elementary schools have them today.
What's different between Charlie's time and 2017 is how common computers are in the home.
Interesting how Sam the Elder became a SysAdmin though. Clearly he got some heavy exposure to them at some point.

@ WitUnderPressure: What a quiet neighborhood full of wholesome people you must have grown up in. I assumed alcoholics and/or junkies.

Older Sam has a computer, he's just hidden it before "Charlie" can find all his horribly deviant porn.

"Computers are wonderful! You can Google three articles on your subject, splice them together to avoid obvious plagerism, and claim you wrote a 2 page assignment you've barely skimmed, much less understood! Done in under an hour; let's go play World of Warcraft now."

I do everything possible to make what I type to not look like plagiarism. I never learned to properly cite the Bible or a TV program, though, too much bloody trouble.

HA! Is it "hole"? Or maybe something close, like "Howle"?
(I am just NOT a good person. -_-)

In my head, Charlie follows up his last line with:
"Grow some tits, why don't you?"
And then Ash kicks him out of the tree.
...
It's probably good I don't have children. ^_^;
Hinoron
on page 51
Ash from Pokemon was the literal translation of "Satoshi", the kid's name in the original Japanese. I don't think it's actually a real boy's name in anything resembling common usage.
Kind of strange Ash hasn't even HEARD of Pokemon though, even if she isn't a fan. I mean, the cartoons are still airing today.

Should have seen this coming. Kinda want to go back and delete my first comment about "his" name now. -_-
Well played, Tober. You got me good.
Page 45
Hinoron
on page 45
Ash was introduced as kind of a slacker kid who can't manage to get to school on time (kind of a rush judgement, but it's what we've seen of him so far). Sitting in the back is where the slacker types who don't want to get called on by the teach usually choose to sit if they have a choice. Also you can get away with more back there. ;)

Have not actually met any boys named "Ash" in my life. Girls named Ashley, yes.
I am betting he gets called an "Ash-hole" a lot. :s

My high school had steep slopes like Guesticus describes on the edge of their sports fields too, but the field was at the bottom of the slope, the school at the top. Saved chasing stray balls too far, and probably not a few of the school's windows as well. :P

There are states that start in August? I'd never heard that. Late August or start of the month? If it's a difference of just a few days or a week, I'd say not much different.
Canadian school year starts in September 1st; coast to coast, so far as I know.
Most East Asian countries start their school year in spring, which makes a certain amount of symbolic sense; new beginnings and whatnot. The September/August beginning school term is reasoned out that the summer break is long enough that expecting students to pick up where they left off 8-10 weeks later is asking quite a lot. Also the observation that students can't think very well when it's hot as hell in their classroom; usually they just fall asleep.
