The Nutz family is definitely not the Cleavers, the Waltons or the Bradys. But you'll undoubtedly recognize them anyway. Most likely, they're a lot like the family you grew up in... where the battle for the last chicken leg is comparable to the Battle of Bull Run, sibling rivalry is putting it mildly, and family values usually refers to a coupon book. Soup to Nutz by Rick Stromoski stars hard-working Roy Nutz, his loving wife Pat, and their battling brood - sons Roy-boy and Andrew, daughter Babs and rambunctious dog Rosco.
Stromoski is the seventh in a family of 12 children. Growing up in such a large family has given him an especially developed sense of humor that he has expressed through drawing from the moment he could pick up a pencil. A self-taught cartoonist and humorous illustrator, his work has appeared in national magazines, children's and humor books, newspapers, licensed products, national advertising and network television. Stromoski's greeting cards have become best-sellers for several major companies. He has won four Louie Awards for outstanding greeting card design. He has been nominated for his illustration work by the National Cartoonists Society 12 times and was awarded the Reuben division award for best greeting cards in 1995 and 1998, and for magazine gag cartoons in 1999. An NCS board member since 1997, he was elected president in 2005.

I first saw this joke MANY years ago in a Dennis the Menace comic:
Dennis answers the door and sees his grandmother standing there and says, “Oh grandma, I’m so happy you’re here! Now I can see daddy do his trick.”
Grandma replies, “What trick is that dear?”
Dennis says, “Daddy said if you were staying for two weeks he was going to climb the walls.”

I remember Felix the Cat, the wonderful, wonderful, cat. Whenever he gets in a fix, he reaches into his bag of tricks.
Felix the Cat, the wonderful, wonderful cat, you’ll laugh so much your sides will ache, your heart will go pit-a-pat, watching Felix the wonderful Cat.
He was so WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL.
