Why are you talking to Squiggy from Laverne & Shirley in the last Frame?

Beautiful job...and I know the college, too! :) What's it like to share a history like that, anyway? My school was all women, dammit!

Let's just say it's a LOT of history. More about that later, in my graphic novel...

Not yet. (You're sure you don't mean "Conception?")



And hey--when we were there, we disturbed the theater apprentice camp freaks to ask directions to the new art building, and they knew who you were. More on that later.



Thanks for reading, little one.

A small but perfectly formed moment of joy.

Thanks.

I'm so glad you blew this up into a full strip. When it was just a humble facebook post I had trouble understanding it.



How uncomfortable to have to be made aware that your parents had lives--and god forbid, sex lives--before they were repurposed as Mom and Dad machines. Of course, I don't get the impression you've worked all that hard to keep your kids unaware that you're human beings ("Mom, put down the beer.")



I keep toying with this idea for a strip where one of the kids gets up at night for a drink of water, only to find that we've clocked off for the night, started drinking, and fully reverted to surly 90's GenX-ers.

Ha! Glad you remember the facebook post--I have to stop wasting comic strip ideas on facebook posts... think of all the brilliant literature we're losing...



Recently a mom friend of mine--we've been looking after our kids together for a long time--said, "Oh my God, now I get what you've been doing all this time! You've been giving your kids permission to be themselves, by showing them exactly who you are!" Uh, yeah. It wasn't a plan or anything, but it definitely worked out that way.

Hell yeah, I beat the naked flute-girl. It's not that hard to play the violin naked.

I love this one. The drawings and the story. Twisted sentimentality.
