Buy him a vowel & a consonant – he’ll get the picture.

We got rid of our television 17 years ago. Best thing we ever did.

I guess this answers your question of yesterday.

Well, some people aren’t all that verbal. My Dad expressed himself far better when he wasn’t trying to say anything than when he was.

I feel so sorry for poor Andy here.

I KNOW it’s only a comic strip…

But still… It can happen.

That seems fitting given the evident affection Andy’s dad has for him.

Yeah, I got your drift, and your pun too. Snow….drift. You’re a sly one there Shark.

Andy, I may not be your dad, but I’d love you, cuddle you and pet you. I feed my animals premium pet foods and care very well for them. You wouldn’t be chained up in my back yard. And you wouldn’t be a pet, you’d be a family member. Slightly furrier than my children but still a member of the family. Not a pet that I own but a dog that I would be a guardian of.

Now if you talked to me like you do in the strip, I’d probably freak out, so you might want to keep that on the DL.

My dad was kind of like that, but not THAT bad. That’s why I made a promise to myself when my kids were born, that they will never have to ask themselves if their dad loved them. They will have always known it.
