"Redpoll Children"

This panel is half in sympathy for the overburdened parents who have to herd cats every day with their errant children. The other half is on account of all the times my dining has been hijacked by someone else's unruly, feral offspring, to which the parents are always oblivious too, having been presumably anesthetized after long-term exposure to such behavior. Now this is never a problem at family restaurants, my long-time favorite one of which was where I sketched out the stage for this scenario, which is surely familiar to anyone with a birdfeeder and a passing knowledge of Redpoll flash mobs (as of this writing we had a simply insane season up in our neck of the woods).
