Pulitzer Prize editorial cartoonist Signe Wilkinson spread her wings and created Family Tree, allowing her to write and draw outside the left/right, headline-driven box of daily editorial cartooning. A contemporary family comic strip, it chronicles the humorous challenges that Ames, Maggie, Twig and Teddy encounter when trying to live "green" and with environmental purpose.

sure great timing. She does not have to go to work and gets paid for it. If she would of had the baby in the summer she would have to cut into her off time.

Lack of professional foresight?! Really?! The teacher would have to be a total genius to be able to plan the pregnancy so she can give birth in the summer. Get real, lady. For most women, they consider themselves lucky to get pregnant at all. Sex-ed doesn’t cover when to get pregnant anyway, just to avoid it.

-————————————————That depends. Years ago, when I was teaching in Little Rock, some of the teachers would get a doctor to write them up “sick” just before the end of school – but continuing through the summer months. Even though they had their pay distributed over 12 months (instead of 9), they collected “sick pay” for the summer. Thus, they got paid twice for those summer months. The insurance company got wise and re-wrote the provisions of the policy.
