You got onry an A minus?
YOU BRING SHAME TO FAMIRY HONOR!!!

But in all seriousness, it's rather painful seeing Xiao's childhood wasn't exactly the best...

^^ Bitten says it's a little exaggerated, I'm happy enough to believe Xiao had some strict and expectant parents, but I don't think they'd ever go as far as bending her over and taking the leek to her rump

I talked to Bitten about this before, he said she did get punished like this XD;; But yes, I know this pic exaggerates a bit with the display of eastern upbringing.

It may be exaggerated, but it's still a silly comic to read. XP

Why does remind me the movie "Meet the Fockers"?

So sad. But true.
...
...
Makes it all the more sad.

Western-dad is a major hottie. :9

Yea, he's easy go.

lol awesome XD

Ahgawd I went through this. All those after-school classes and the constant parental pressure, the whippings with the fly swatter.. D8

Mine was a cane. Worst pain you can't imagine. ;_;

Mine was a spike-covered bat. After bunch of bandage, it still hurt.

Admit it, you just wanted to draw someone getting spanked. ;)

i think this picture speaks for itself XD

I shouldn't have lol'd as much as I had.

^^^

Ha, that machoke makes me laugh. Pardon the silly question though, but.. what is the parent pokemon from the east? I thought it was Infernape at first, but.. I'm not 100% sure.

Farfetch'd.

OH THAT'S A LEEK. I thought it was his arm. *facepalm*

I think it's time I get some sleep. 6_9 Thanks, btw.

np.

*shakes his head* Only an A -.... its like she doesn't care about her grades at all.

ooooh thats harsh

My dad said if I got bad grades he would take away my Xbox........

I got good grades.

Same here, although not to such extremes as shown here. It would be either grounding, or not TV or videogames until I fixed my grades.

Ohhh... yeah...

THIS IS THE SOLUTION FOR EVERYTHING!!!!111eleven

poor girl D=

lol. yeah, exaggerated, but I know from first hand it's all and quite true....

you explained the american east perfectly
but thank god those days are over

wow poor girl °A°

Although living in Washington, I've heard both tales of kids that get grounded for having an A-, and tales of kids that get like $50 from their parents for coming back home with even a C+.

The latter are just fucking dumb and spoiled anyway, but still. <_>

Poor Xiao. :c <3

Poor Xiao... That's awful! They should at least lower it to a "B", A- is too high for punishment.
C is punishment for me, but I just lose my video gaming privileges. Not that that stops me...

SPANKINGU

it is amazing :D
but, poor girl =(

GO STUDY UNTIL YOU'RE ASIAN!

My dad stopped loving me when I didn't get straight As anymore.

Which makes me think he never much cared for me in the first place.

its sad when you can actually apply these extremes sometimes -w -
funny either way o3o

Depending on the subject even a B was a bad grade for me although it never got to the extreme that an A- was also bad, maybe because over here we don't use the +/- average. If one gets straight A- and another gets straight A+ they will both end up with A in their report card.

Also too bad that Ginger has to do some extra heavy duty studying now with Mao on her case.

Ha ha! Parents. :3

Guess that's the same at ALMOST everything for asians :P

Okay, I laughed at this one, and then felt bad because its true.

Good thing my Akina's dad is the equivalent of a modern japanese, so he didn't was this strict.

Yes more than 80% asian expect great grades,china and japan. America,well lets just say even if we get a masters degree and a flipping circus with printers and drawings and shit we all will still be bitten hard in life. :P

we all will still be bitten hard in life. :P

I see what you did there.

You didn't see me there,i went there,ooohhh yes indeed i went there. :P lol

Little did her father know, Xiao has a spanking fetish. Haha, but seriously, poor Xiao. :,(

Damn right!

You have blood type B+? You should be A+!

I went to school with such folks.

it's disturbing to hear someone on a bus say (in utter terror):

"Oh my god, i got a B+, I'm gonna be killed!"

I think... mmmm THE EAST IS HOT! XD

Pedo alert

Fart Alert!

Yet one more thing that makes me grateful my parents weren't like that.

Heh. This makes me think back to that picture of Ginger's teammates helping her to study.

Personally, I've had plenty of experience with the "Eastern" approach to school-related parenting. Not fun. Good for getting into a university? Certainly. But not at all fun.

wow, xiao's father was a pervert... hardly seems necessary to pull such a short skirt all the way down to her ankles just to hit her ass.

not a pervert, he was just strict, and BH did say that this image is a bit exaggerated.

Nope, her skirt went down to her knee!

Oh, the Skyrim pun!

I get a A on a test, I got a toy. AZN friend gets anything below an A, he gets grounded till next weeks test.

High Expectations Asian Dad

Been there, done that.

I really like this mostly because I had lived this two scenarios during my life, good job ironically it brings some memories from me

East is more like my West, my dad would kill me if I got a C at all. Which is pretty bad.

LOL!! Damn, that's harsh. (Sorta reminds me of something that happened at work once when I gave a girl an A instead of an A+)

Ha wow XD Great pic

I think there was a study a few years ago that said that physical punishments stunted intelligence compared to good old 'sit-in-the-corner'. Reasoning was, basically, negative reinforcement boxes in a child's will to experiment, whereas time-outs forced reflection. Point is, no matter what, parents are human too.

punush punish from the lose

This is so true though >_>

I got swatted with a belt and a board at times, but never due to grades. And to be quite honest, if I saw someone doing that to a kid for such a poor reason, I'd break their fucking arm. There's high expectations, and then there's being a tyrannical monster.

YOU LEARN QUICK ATTACK?

COME BACK WHEN YOU LEARN AERIAL ACE.

That's about true. Very funny though.

Nicely done comic, and I have to agree to some degree with western parents being more llenient regarding thier children grades, than it is in the east.

It almost sounds like you support the eastern philosophy of capital punishment for less than perfect. I like western dad here, especially in the first frame. he's supportive of her. She's a kid, she doesn't need her parents putting extra stress on her. there'll be plenty of time to be stressed out as an adult. Though I do think he should perhaps at least encourage her to aim for better.

Not entirely, I don't believe in capital punishment at all, but believe that some western parents shouldn't be so lienant and barely invest their time in the child education, but be constantly involving and know when to crack the whip (figurative speaking) when the child slack off.

the sad thing here is knowing farmer-girl stereotypes, a C+ is probably actually really good for Ginger. she probably wasn't slacking off to get that grade. c.c

Dang, that western dad is manly.

True fact, very true but not very serious. LOL

Oh my.

to some extent, i understand this, more so the east side. i know people who used to be like this too... D:

wow...Xiao's Dad is quite...well...how do i put it?

This sadden me.=(

He's not strict.

After all, he did say he would KILL her and all she got was a spanking.

Sounds like her dad is the type to say?
"What do you want to be when you grow up? No, no, it is not pronounced actor. It is pronounced Doctor."

Ouch!! Next time study harder!!!

"Rather" exaggerated? Dude, I'm from Pennsylvania and sired 3 kids. I never did that for a bad grade.

dude, by eastern he doesn't mean eastern seaboard of the USA. He means east like, Japan.

No, not Harikiri! You had so much to live for!..... I think...

What is your family name?

Snrk... There's nothing you can do to dishonor a name like that more than it's already done to itself.

My character's dad must be from the east, then... :)

*cocks gun* Alright where's that Panel 2 and 4 bastard?

ahhhhhh asian parent syndrome ^^ . but i must say i love the western dad he is tottally cool

Oh my god, I love Daddy Machamp, his beard is so manry

Buzz Lightyear face or Mr. Incredible face? Or post-diet Heavy Weapons Guy face?

wow, true story

That machap reminds me of Mr. T !!!!

Exact same reason I stay in Alaska... Great artwork. You brought memories of my childhood back. (I wasn't born in the East, but I still try to get A+s and stuff...) And for that, I thank you for helping me recover my past.

so that's how she turn blue !
