The best things in life are free. But you can’t keep ‘em for the birds and bees. Now give me money (that’s what I want). That’s what I want (that’s what I want). That’s what I want (that’s what I want) yeah. That’s what I want
I have always felt that as a father, my whole life was to make sure my son always remembered the special days that were important to his mother. Don’t forget to call her, don’t forget her birthday, etc. Sadly she died in March and now every time I talk to him I start to remind him about mom’s …. It just isn’t the same now without her.:(
This punch line is much like the ending I gave to the Mother’s Day Sunday page. Just goes to show you two things: 1) I never checked to see what I’d done on Mother’s Day, and 2) When you’re on a deadline, you’ll sometimes take the first idea that comes into your head and draw it up. This must have been one of those first ideas!
Imagine the tenth panel would have been something like “You need money, no problem! Let us see, I got some brush that needs clearing, a car that needs washing, that horror of a hall closet needs to be organized….”
I went to mom for money. Dad always turned it over to her to run things. He never had much on him. Of course in my day, it was asking for just a dime to go buy ice cream. If that failed, I checked the couch cushions.
Typical of that generation – now we have Twitter and the like where everything including the sacred gets horribly abbreviated so they won’t throw out their thumbs.

Kids! They give so much with one hand. And want even more with the other hand.

I love how Lynn uses the “hold up one finger to make a point” pose even when someone is thinking to themselves, lol.

Fathers don’t have all the money. But they’re probably the easier touch.

Why are they going to Dad for money? Everyone knows that it’s Mom who controls the purse strings. Sorry kids, but Mom got here first!
