Dueling cartoons

I was the first to stick this one on the refrigerator door. When I read it in the paper I thought it was the perfect cartoon to describe the mental state of my son at the age of 14 or 15 or any other teenager for that matter. I thought it was terribly funny. Josh wasn’t so amused.

Calvin and Hobbs cartoon when Josh was 15.

Not long after another cartoon showed up on the refrigerator door — Josh’s rebuttal to mine. Josh was a night owl and I was a morning person so my perky demeanor first thing in the morning wasn’t one of his favorite things about me.

Not much I could say to that one…

Mom sent this cartoon to me the day Josh was born and addressed to the hospital. On the back was a note

Gale – your grandmother sent this to me the day you were born

I’ve attached a PDF at the bottom of the cartoon and mom’s note. I hope Stacey and Brandy may continue the tradition and mail it to their daughters on the day of the birth of their first child.
