I guarantee it. When this strip pops up in the treasury, Steph is going to share a story about his son that inspired this. Something new just happened in his son’s life.
I wonder if this is a subtle tribute to Harry Chapin, the singer/songwriter of “Cats In the Cradle.” This week is the anniversary of his death (July 16, 1981).

I’ll be 64 tomorrow and I’m retired. My boys are 10, 6 & 4. Although there are some problems being this age with three very active boys (the big one is arthritis) I’m a full time stay at home dad and I wouldn’t trade this for anything.

In a way, this almost feels like it’s a finale for the strip, or finale for the Crocs as characters. Touching.

Don’t be concerned, it will not harm you
It’s only me pursuing something I’m not sure of
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
