Transcript:
Alice: Is your mom still scrapbooking your stuff? Marcus: Now she's saving everything I touch. Alice: Last night I played tic-tac-toe on a children's menu at a pizza restaurant. Marcus: Mom took the menu home and put it in a scrapbook along with the napkin I used and photo of me with the waiter. Marcus: My dad read her a magazine article about how parents today have fallen victim to the cult of the child. Marcus: About how they've fetishized their kids and worship the as miniature deities. Marcus: Mom glued the article into a scrapbook. I feel like I'm being stalked by a deranged fan. Alice: And yet no one will push me on this stupid thing.

Poor Marcus.

I had a friend with a mother like that – took pictures of them, posed pictures, at every minor event, like arriving at the restaurant, being seated at the restaurant, leaving the restaurant….
Eventually he started flipping her the bird in every single one (and even then, she didn’t stop).

Guilty as charged. First daughter has baby book and scrapbook. Second daughter has a shoebox of disorganized stuff in a closet. Damaged her self-esteem.

I like that Marcus’ eyes bulge out like a bug’s. Mine used to do that when I hung from a swing like that.

Marcus wears glasses, (bridge is missing in first and last panels, but the earpieces aren’t, and the bridge is present in at least 2,3,4,5) and like most cartoons, they’re drawn as filled with the eye ball. .I was so careful to NOT cheat my second child that we got an extra of the exact same baby book. Sadly, it just proved how everyone else cheated him if you compare pages of “Gifts to welcome you to the world”. Oh, and I had one of each so it’s not like most of the clothes passed down all that well…..
