There’s a conversation that happens in the second panel. Two family members can, if not know what the other would say, assume that they’re saying the opposite of each other anyhow.
The argument isn’t going to change either one’s mind. It’s just so that one of them (Each assuming they’re the one) will get to say, “I TOLD YOU SO” later on.

Pop-up paintball ambushes. With snapping turtle pits.
Hubris looks like he is having flashbacks of when he was thirteen in the second panel!

Ohhh to be thirteen again……that in between time…..no longer a kid yet no adult responsibility.
Their postures say “brothers” … their words say “enemies”.
