This comic was my dad's Father's Day card last year. (The last panel/message were interior, with the four-panel strip on the front.)

true story

(Someday I'll learn to draw children.) When I was nine or so, I was really struggling with schoolwork . . . I'd just switched to my third elementary school, where I had "real" grades for the first time (not like at the hippy-run private school I'd just left). My dad had "For Allie" engraved on this pendant from one of his MA programs, and gave it to me like some kind of good luck charm.

And yeah, he really did that thing with the magazine, too. My friends always think he's so serious and reserved . . .
