Son 2 in a nutshell

Sometimes a picture -- or a sequence of them -- really is worth a thousand words. A couple of years ago I compared Son 2 to the young Anakin Skywalker. But I could just as well have compared him to Linus van Pelt, in "Peanuts." Today's strip clinches the comparison perfectly. Of all the people I know personally, only Son 2 could possibly have carried this off, and with no muss, no fuss, and no special comment that it was noteworthy.

The rest of us take turns being Lucy, I think. But Son 2 is clearly Linus.
