There’s less painful ways to commit suicide…

David, you *do* remember who you’re married to, right?
This cannot end well.
Wife, yes, kids…well…
Cloud looks weirdly out of place in the last panel. Between the stiff stance and flat expression he looks like he’s been awkwardly pasted in.
Indeed, if he doesn’t recant soon, he’s going to die of a slow and agonizing death.

I would argue it’s sex and independence – too bad they’re mutually exclusive :^(
The best thing about being an adult? There is none. Run while you still can Cloud.
@ Lizuka:
It’s because that’s a cardboard cut out of him. he ran away quickly with that last comment from his dad.
Sleep with one eye open, buddy.
I think it’s a beautiful testament to their love, that he feels safe to joke around like that with a cold-blooded killer.
I’d say that all those things are on entirely different scales. But really, adults may not have homework, but in certain jobs they have plenty of work to be done at home. And alcohol has an acquired taste, if it’s ever acquired. As someone who has a pretty screwed up immediate family, I’d take option #3 as my #1
As a Belgian citizen, I feel offended that drinking beer in a can is the second best thing about being an adult.
@ Algiz:
Cans have come a long way. Modern lined cans don’t mess up the taste of the beer. Given the deleterious effects of sunlight on beer, the fact that they’re opaque is a plus. Cans are cheaper to manufacture and transport than bottles, which helps the bottom line, especially for small breweries. They’re also more environmentally friendly, since they’re cheaper and easier to recycle. Many smaller breweries in the US (which usually make much better beer than the mega brewers) are switching to cans. As a shameless beer snob, I too long looked down on canned beer, but I’ve since discovered that it’s entirely possible to get good beer in a can. (Admittedly, I don’t usually drink it directly out of the can, since the proper glass can greatly improve the experience. )
BTW, I really love a good Belgian style ale.

I don’t know what all of you are getting at. Ye Thuza comes right after beer and no homework. What greater compliment could a wife/girlfriend ever wish for?
Adulthood is a trap you can’t get out from. 🙁
Well Cloud Asked what is great about beeing an Adult in GENERAL. Not EVERY Adult has a great Wife and 2 genious Kids. That is a privilege unique to him so of course he cant name it specifically ;P
David also likes to live …. dangerously

I see someone else getting a spanking and then being forced to sleep on the couch.
I was waiting for the reply: “Getting spanked”

What’s with Cloud always asking dangerous questions in regards to adulthood?
Boy, remember the last time you did that.
Oh… right… you can’t. That memory is now in Larisas hands.
I imagine that his placement on the couch will be one of expediency.
Isn’t’ the no ‘home and test’ thing sort of a lie? with some jobs you have to keep up your knowledge, so you have schooling which can mean homework and tests.

@ asebw:
In David’s defence, he’s survived long enough to meet Ye Thuza, date, marry AND have both Cloud & Yuna with her.
If he’s been cracking lines like that the whole time, dude can clearly handle himself in a rumble.
Now… would she be insulted or complimented if David put her below Final Fantasy?
…And David will be sleeping on the couch tonight.
Waitaminute, it’s after you’re an adult that you get these things?
Am I supposed to accept to grow up by now?
DANGER WILL ROBINSON!
This comic is peak Dad lol.
He had better hope he ends up sleeping on the couch, and not suffering something worse.
Riku wrote:
Pretty much what I was thinking – these are things that are great about having a good marriage, which is not a guaranteed privilege of adulthood. Many adults either have no partner or children, or have terrible examples of same.
Well, the wife isn’t acting very “loving” right now, so I wouldn’t say she deserves the #1 spot at the moment.
Riku wrote:
David doesn’t get to use that argument after that “top 10” crack. He explicitly put them on the list, albeit in indeterminate spots.
This can’t end well, in fact it leads down a dark dark path where Ya Thuza marries Richard and Sandra marries her brother. David is the only thing stopping this, of that I’m sure.
@ Drake:
I find that scenario highly unlikely.
Better answer. ” That would be great, but I love you too much to trade you in.”
Wihle she’s trying to decide the love part should be considered a mitigating circumstance, you make your escape
You don’t need to be an adult to enjoy a beer. You just need to be of legal age.

Fun fact: the age at which you’re considered old enough for drinking varies drastically depending on where you live.
In some countries any form of alcohol is illegal at any age others have age limits ranging from 15 to 21, sometimes differentiating between beer/wine and strong liquors.
Sometimes it’s legal for 16 year olds to have a beer only while eating in a restaurant. Sometimes 15 year olds are allowed to buy alcohol at liquor stores, but not in restaurants …
TL;DR: it’s complicated 😉
Ohh boy, wrong answer to the last question! David’s gonna pay for that later, I guess.
Well, someone’s sleeping in the dog house tonight, and probably well into his next life.
For some reason I read that in the voide of Jessica from Fresh Off the Boat
