Answer:

The cartoon indicates that the father thinks his son spends too much time alone on the computer.

Explanation:

As found in the attached image, we notice that the father appears to be surprised by his son's intense focus on the screen, in other words he is uncomfortable by the time he was spending alone on the computer.

Also, we could deduce from the meaning of the slang "Wanna toss the ol' virtual pigskin?" that the son may have been playing a virtual football game on his computer.

According to the cartoon, we can see that the father thinks that the son spends a lot of time alone on the computer, as shown in the last answer option.

Why does the father bother that his son spends too much time on the computer?

  • The father believes that the computer is preventing his son's youth.
  • He feels that by spending too much time on the computer, his son misses the chance to make friends and enjoy life.
  • This prevents the child from having experiences and having fun in a real, and social way.

The father worries about the effects of the life that the son is leading and therefore asks if he wants to play along with him.

The cartoon that his question refers to is attached.
