All their kids have a specific bad thing they do and the parents are on it from the get go.

I’m reading it more like parents used to do those specific things as kids so that’s what they warn against.

Lol. Yeah. And that’s sometimes the same thing, anyway.

If there are any cosmic forces of karma, I figure they love it when that happens.

OK, so, no actual attempt at humor

if the strictest definition of humor is what you find funny then it sounds like that would be correct.

Is this like some Family Circus humor I don’t get or what?

The comic is sorta a web blog/diary and the comics are something around the artists life. The artist (or sometimes the husband) usually has some commentary around it but much of the humor is likely going to be funnier for someone with kids or at least who had them at one time. When the comic started it had situations that would be understood from a college life context and then a fandom experience. Some also likely make a bit more sense for artist types.

I guess I’ll just chime in that I understood the humor immediately. Lol. Just for a contrasting data point.
