Okay. Every morning after I get my daughter on the bus to middle school, and after my wife leaves home
for her job, my son and I have about 45 minutes together before he needs to get on his bus for elementary school.
This morning he wanted to "draw" at the kitchen table, so I left him alone and went into my office to check email and get
ready for my day at work. After I got him to his bus stop this morning, I returned home and found this on our kitchen table.
I'm not sure what made me prouder; the fact that his comic strip made me laugh out loud,
the fact the he obviously wanted to do what he's seen daddy doing (drawing a comic strip),
or the fact that his characters look like phallic symbols (he's only 9)!
Either way, I thought this was just too cool not to share.

That's GREAT!!!!!!!!!
Well thought out, too. Short storyline, easy to start and finish in one strip. I like it.
MORE MORE MORE!!!!!!!

reminds me of the "Superbad" sequence... "and for a year, I wasn't allowed to eat phallic food.. no popsicles, no hot dogs, no..."

That is TOTALLY impressive for a 9-year-old! Obviously he inherited his daddy's sense of humor.
Maybe he can be a "guest cartoonist" when you need a break!
Congrats to Robby and to his proud papa!
