This week’s comic was originally supposed to be the second half of a double-sized comic that I was going to produce last week. I’m glad I split them up. It gives the joke in this comic a little room to breathe.
I kind of wanted to explore the idea that Tom and Cami – although in a very loving and committed relationship – are kind of the worst people to ask for relationship advice.
As you’re probably aware, the comic versions of Cami and Tom are based of me and my wife. We were high school sweethearts. We got married right out of college. We have NO IDEA how relationships work in the aggregate. We only know what works for us.
Long story short: If you’re having troubles with your significant other, we’ll lend a sympathetic ear. Just don’t ask us for advice because we haven’t had to navigate those waters for a long, LONG time.
I don’t have much more to say about the comic but I wanted to take a minute to do something I’ve traditionally done in this space since 2007.
You guys remember my son, Henry, right? I don’t talk about him too much, but when his birthday rolls around, I like to give everyone a little update.
Henry’s turning 5 on Saturday and the time has absolutely flown by. The kid is a marvel to me. Smart as a whip and a memory that puts me to shame. He’ll remember the most insignificant detail from a breakfast we had 4 months ago. Needless to say, he keeps us on our toes.
We recently had pictures taken as we’ve done every year prior and we decided to spice things up a little bit. We told Henry he could bring his lightsaber to the photo shoot.
Keep in mind that Henry hasn’t seen any of the Star Wars films yet. But, like I said, he’s a pretty observant kid – and a lightsaber is hard to miss when you’re wandering the toy aisle at Target. So I got him one for Christmas.
At any rate, Cami thought it would be a good idea if I got in on the fun and we ended up with a pretty cool triptych that I think you guys might appreciate.
I posted the photo to the Theater Hopper Facebook page. I’ll admit I was a little reluctant to take the photo at first. But now that we have it, I’m so, so glad.
You never get this time back, people. If you’ve got kids, hug ’em extra hard tonight, okay?
Have a great week.
