He gave you countless piggyback rides as a child, kept years' worth of school pictures in his wallet, got you through every scraped knee, heartache and disappointment in life with his pep talks; but most importantly, he's your dad. And, he's very hard to shop for!

With Father's Day sneaking up on us, it's time to find a gift that's as awesome as your dad is. He'll most likely be of little help, telling you that you don't have to get him anything, but you're determined to find something special. You want to surprise him, not just get him another necktie or "#1 Dad" coffee mug, but what do you do?

Luckily, we have several awesome gift options:

An archive-quality comic print makes a unique and fun Father's Day gift! Whether you choose your dad's very favorite comic, or have a comic in mind that reminds you of your old man, this gift will convey all your love and appreciation, while giving dad a laugh, too!

Once you decide on which print fits your dad the best, the ordering process is simple! As outlined here, the comic strip of your choice will be printed on high-quality 11" x17" paper. Unframed collectible prints are available for $39.95 and those in frames range in price from $229.95 to $239.95. To ensure delivery in time for Father's Day, orders for framed and unframed prints must be placed by June 8 and June 15, respectively. Start shopping!

If you can't decide on just one comic strip, you could always spring for a whole comic collection! Our sister company, Andrews McMeel Publishing, offers amazing comic book collections.

A particularly notable book, released earlier this year, Exploring Calvin and Hobbes would make an extra-special gift, as it includes an in-depth, original and lengthy interview with Bill Watterson.

For the modern dad, Udig ebooks offer short, curated comics content on a variety of platforms.

Whichever gift you decide on, all of these are sure to put a smile on Dad's face and keep it there long after Father's Day is over!
