Family pride is a beautiful thing!
Also funny (maybe funnier) in German.
Yes, having a baby is a smart career move. Blog, baby! Blog! If you can stay awake between feedings and diaper changes, you’ll have an endless source of cute stories to tell. Or you could just get a cat and achieve the same thing.
This comic is also available (and funny) in German.
I didn’t think about it being 9/11 when I scheduled this comic. So, if you find a political or social message here, it’s not intended. Now go hug someone…and drink some coffee if that’s what it takes!
I’m not sure if shopping qualifies as a super power. But I suspect you have to enjoy it to do it well. I don’t…unless, of course, it involves buying comics…or books…or DVDs…or cool electronic gizmos that I can’t afford. But that’s not really shopping. That’s, uh…male bonding.
In honor of last week’s big, big news (Disney bought Marvel Comics) I’m running a couple of comic book-themed Last Kisses this week.
This is a strange turn of events for most die-hard comic fans. I know some people are afraid that Disney will try to “Disneyfy” Marvel–making everything G-rated and warm and fuzzy. But that’s not going to happen. I’m sure Disney wants Marvel’s harder edge and older, male-dominated demographic.
But we’ll see. In the meantime, I’m not going to “Hulk out” over it–especially since I own a bit of Marvel stock and it shot up 25 percent in one day. Nope. I’m not going to complain at all.
