This one is to far out for me to get. I think the most baby teeth lose at one time in my experience is like 2 or 3 but I did not have kids so its just friends and family for what I know.

    My 12yo niece asked me if I wanted something from the store. When I went to hand her cash, she said, “Just venmo it”.

    Made me think about when we get even closer to digital wallets everywhere and little kids lose their teeth and find a credstick under their pillow.

      not for me in the current state of software and technology. Looks like im heading down a luddite road. I really don’t want to but I can’t stand the way things are being done.

      the second panel one is her inner child type character. the angel and devil are the usual inner dialogue thing and of course the devil is the most shapely and endowed.

    OK here’s a thought, I don’t think any kid lost 20 teeth at the same time. I think that coent was about total tooth loss, and that the money thing was suggesting each tooth the fairy gets is one “tooth dollar” in their bank. I think that this one-has three partially connected thoughts instead of one coherent story

    Yeah, I’m confused.

      Yeah someone cleared it up for me. I think when I initially read it as how many teeth did the kid lose as opposed to like how many teeth do kids typically lose. Now it makes more sense to me.

    If you look at the second panel she is preparing two dollar bills (two for tooth) as these are very rare she checks if she has collected enough so far or needs to find/order additional ones in the coming years while the tooth fall out

    Some American live paycheck to paycheck. The comic implies that it is one of them.

    She’s not sure to have enough cash to pay for the tooth right now, so 26 of them is a small firtune.

    I was confused too.

    No idea if I’m right, but if you interpret twenty as a suggestion to give the kid their $20, I think it works better.
