For all the Mothers who stop by and look in on what we commenters have to say——-

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY

Awww – it’s nice that Andy’s giving Joan a gift.

I like Wally stage-managing Max from behind to give Joan the flowers.

Best strip here in a long time. Let’s here it for all the Joans, Evie and Val’s in the world.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all Mother’s everywhere. Thank you for what you do.

Happy Mother’s Day,,,,great stripe !

Aww, sweet!

Aww. Phil didn’t forget either.

Thanks john pike.

Very good! I love these women and their pants style clothing!

I’m with you Redkaycei. I have spent a good penny buying cards over the years, but I always honored my mother and she never expected a card from me. Too bad I helped these card people get rich,

Happy Mother’s Day everyone!

I love the tag line on this. Care for the Mother and You’ve cared for the Child. Care for the Child and you’ve made the Mother’s day! Very profound. I love it.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Mothers Day. I found on the Web site how Mother’s Day started. Very interesting reading.Here is an interesting article I did not read all the way through.Mother’s Day was founded in 1907 by a West Virginia woman as a tribute to her own mother. In her 40s, Anna Marie Jarvis, a college graduate, quit her job and incorporated herself as the Mother’s Day International Association.

Jarvis was so passionate about her vision that she succeeded within 6 years in persuading the governors of nearly every state in the union to embrace Mother’s Day. By 1914, she had won over the U.S. Congress. That year President Woodrow Wilson signed a Congressional resolution declaring the second Sunday in May the nation’s day to honor mothers (for their role in the family, however, not the public sphere).
