About Father's Day...

Last year's Father's Day card was strange too.

I had to pick Izzy's brain to get a more coherent message on the card.

Better than birthdays...

In writing my own mother's day card to my mom,

I realized the content was essentially the SAME.

A big thank you for LIFE...

and chocolate breath.

ETCETERA...

I surprised myself and kept my mouth shut.

About Killing Off S. Claus....

(.............)

I suddenly felt guilty that I had just robbed my child of some simple childhood fantasies.

However, by having told her the hard truth in these matters (mixed up with vague historical details from the dust balls of my meager brain), I am hoping she will give me more credit when we talk about the birds and the bees and the potential consequences of unplanned pollination and spread of botanical diseases...  

About Things Hereditary...

Oliver is developing awareness of his future self.

And, I couldn't tell a lie.

About Stoopid...

How did Oliver pick-up the word 'Stupid'?

I began to wonder.

1.  Daddy working on GIS programs.

2.  Mommy waiting patiently for the car in front of her

to make a timely left turn. 

3.  Mommy's pen dies before its time.

4.  Mommy says no for the 106th time.

Okay.

Well, who knew.

A Story I've Been Working On...

I've been working last many weeks on this piece.  (About 30% of the time was on actual execution while the other 70% was spent on staring at it, walking away, tearing my hair out, surfing the net, and staring out into space. )  

It is one of the scenes from my "Maggie and the Wind" story I've been working on.  At this point, I've thrown my hands in defeat and called it 'finished'.   

Once I relearn how to modify my website, I'll post it up there.  Because I've been preparing for a conference coming up this week, I've been unable to post up new comics.  However, it will be up next week once all this craziness is over.

AAAAHHHHGGHHHH~

About the Miracle of the Loaves...

I didn't know that ... along with 'Common Sense', 

I am also required to instill in my children 

a healthy respect for the Laws of Nature,

aka GMSCOHMMYM.

(Give Mommy Some Control Over How Much Mess You Make).

My Apologies...

I've been very distracted by a painting I have to do for a project, so I haven't updated in a while.  My apologies!  I wish I could say it was all worthwhile, but I am still doing some CPR on it...

About Spider Knuckle Sandwich...

Uh...it was an unexpected.  

My Anti-Video Game Propaganda is working!

I think.
