Thank goodness for not witnessing this

that pad is probably coffee stained…

What, no Father’s Day comic? Easy opportunity missed, says I.

Invention is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.

ALL that family isn’t right—except for Laura, Baby Nick, and Gumbo.

They should have used Adam’s checkbook.

What? You never heard of check kiting?

You have to give the kids points for trying.

I remember as a kid using newspaper, some small diameter dowel rods, glue and tape to make my own kite to fly. Had some old, wide package ribbon for a tail.

Happy Father’s Day my friends.

“Those Newman kids aren’t right”….lol!!

so, they are flying a kite, then in the next panel she wants to fly a kite….

I guess kids aren’t what they used to be: we made our own kites a few times.

Let’s go fly a pad … the one that’s been heating dad …

Let’s go fly a pad … and send it rising …

Up into the air … We should say a prayer

Oh, let’s go fly a pad.

So, did it fly? Come on!

Adam’s heating pad is being used for sore and soar.

Every now and then I’d try out a box kite. The winds in my folk’s neighborhood were never great enough to get one aloft.

They’re cursed with their Father’s genes.

We had forty-mile-an-hour gusts last Spring. It was so windy I was able to fly a Hawaiian shirt on a coathangar. :)

In the 60’s we made our own kites out of sticks, string and newspaper. We had more fun making the kites than flying them.

“Those Newman kids aren’t right” Translated, it says, “Them kids ain’ raht intha hayed.”

Well how would you be after spending a week as an alligator and a bunny

Let go fly a kite…lalala
