A monopoly on giving

December 17, 2012

Son, if you want stuff for Channukah, you’ve got to get rid of some of the things you don’t use anymore. But I use everything. Everything? Yeah, everything. This busted baby toy? You mean to tell me you use this? I was just about to. And this thing? It goes with my Chutes and Ladders […]

Someday it’ll be worth something

December 10, 2012

Me: Hey son, welcome home! Mom and I just worked our butts off to make you your favorite dinner! Tadaaaa!—it’s home-made mac and cheese with turkey chili! You: Oh. Me: Oh? Whadya mean, “oh”? You: I hate home-made mac and cheese, and last time I ate your turkey chili I almost threw up all over […]

What it means when a girl punches you in the face

November 30, 2012

OK, listen up, son. We don’t have a lot of time to deal with this.

Which is to say you have none at all. Once that chemical gets […]

BREAKING: Grim Reaper announces sweeping changes to Hell-bound transport system

November 19, 2012

As part of the I’ve Become My Parents book project, I’ve been going back and creating cartoons for older posts. I was working on this cartoon for one of my earliest posts, called Hell in a Handbasket, and started thinking about what might happen if the impact of the global economic crisis were to extend as far […]

In case you missed yesterday’s cartoon

November 15, 2012

Girls: the only thing keeping boys from thinking they know everything. Happy Thursday! Yesterday, I guest posted over at Sex, Lies and Bacon. Many of you popped over there. For those that may not have, I thought I’d post the cartoon here today. It sums up my grasp of the female psyche when I was a […]
