This would work better, I think, if the name of the act had been read first, and then been explained; that's the standard delivery from this joke trope, and it works better that way as the audience takes a moment to try and process what the title means before it's pared down to "Extend My Bedtime".

Notice how Millie said "parents?"
PLOT DEVICE FAIL.

Anyways, I thought this one was cute. I agree though, that would've been much better if the title of the act was said first and then what it meant last.
I like the art in the third panel c:

Agree. As for the "parents" thing, this strip is from an alternate timeline where Locke decided to leave his world and stay with Ms. Mudd. :locke:

I remember liking this one immensely for the last panel. Can't muster up that same love now.

He probably beat her like a red headed stepchild.

Wait...
