Sluggo knows that just because someone asks you for something doesn’t automatically mean you have to give it to them. That alone will take him far in life!
One of my all time favorites! Nancy and Sluggo's sense of self worth is and should be a role model for children everywhere, instead of being second class citizens to adults.
President Trump, if you had five golf tournaments and I asked you to sit two out because the country was suffering catastrophes and needed help, how many golf tournaments would you be attending...
It's like one of Abe Lincoln's pearls of wisdom: If we called a horse's tail a "leg,"how many legs would a horse have? --Four, because calling a tail a "leg" doesn't make it one.
He understands math. The teacher asked how many he would have left if she asked for two, not if she took two or he gave two. He's simply saying if she only asked he'd say no and keep all 5.
His sustenance coming from the charity of beatnik artists who cherished and adored his self-destructive non-conformity, almost rivallong Diogenes in his impetuousness; still quite refreshing in a conformist, consumerist era
Sluggo is a proud nail, exclaiming “hammer me, and see what happens!”
Though his youthful boisterousness and rebelliousness was charming to his peers in the socially highly constrained era in which they grew up, his inability to adapt to the world around him Landed him on the streets by 1957
I legit made a math tutor cry with a similar answer. It was about negative numbers. 5 apples minus 7 or something. They said "negative 2 because you owe me 2" and I said "What the hell is a negative apple? Show me one." I was (am?) a little shit.
Clearly I don't think a negative apple exists and it's a representation of "owing" something, and/or, simply a logical construct. You can put the pitchfork away. Past me is not representative of present me (for the most part. 😈). 😜

She *asked* for two, he didn't give them yet. He still has 5.
She learned a lesson too🤓
Sluggo: 5 and a black eye.
Rather than taking two or him giving her two.
"Five."
The next day the teacher was absent and Sluggo was all quiet.
She needs to re-word the question

If you have 5 cats and someone takes 2, how many do you have left?
5 cats and a dead body 😂
