| − | + | Apparently a continuation of comic [[150: Grownups]], [[Megan]] is showing off a {{w|blanket fort}} (which is actually a combination blanket-and-pillow fort, a very childlike activity) to her friend [[Ponytail]], who implies that her childishness (as also evidenced by her creation of a ball pit in the previous comic) stems from a fear of growing up. Megan responds that she's fine with growing up, and that her behavior is actually mature realization that some things we enjoyed as children are still enjoyable. When pressed for evidence that she has in any way become an "adult," it is revealed that her boyfriend (most likely the guy from [[Grownups]]) is inside the blanket fort but has not spoken until now because he's "not exactly dressed," implying "adult" activities have been going on in it (though probably not in the sense that [[Ponytail]] meant). | |
| − | + | The title text again plays with the meaning. They've built a {{w|tree fort}} in the woods, which is another type of forts that a kid would love to have, but then they've used it to hide a body, implied to be someone they've killed, something that it is assumed no kid would do. | |
