Boy to Pastor: “But why doesn’t our church reach out to super heroes?”
This week’s Illustration Friday theme reminded me of a cartoon I did some years back. As a boy, I wondered were those super heroes were in real life. I found out later many were closer than I thought. One of them lived right in my house and went by the alias, “Dad.”
Boy to dad: “I’m glad you’re feeling better. I’d hate to replace you.”
I’ve been recovering from a nice, holiday cold. My kids have been nice, and sincere about my welfare. I imagined this morning what would happen if they were younger and had a more selfish motive. Good thing you can’t just pick up a new dad from the Home Depot.
Cartoon of boy hanging by gutter. He says, “Get Dad! Tell him I’m sorry I started putting up Christmas lights without him and I could really use his help!”
It has been warm for an Indiana Christmas. I was able to put the Christmas lights on the house and wear a short-sleeve shirt. This time, my kids didn’t have to wait for me. You know how impatient they get!
Caption reads: “Get Dad! Tell him I’m sorry I started putting up Christmas lights without him and I could really use his help!”
Here is my version of “might”, in a digital style. I still waffle over what is better: organic color pencils or the digitized twenty-first century!
I’m trying a few things with color pencil. Strange, but when I think of might, I think of the anxiety that comes with it. This kid may be strong but he holds the world ( or at least he thinks he does.)
Might doesn’t make right. It only gives you something else to worry about.
