Yes, I know today’s comic is late. I was working a week or two ahead of schedule and fell behind last week. I had the strip finished on Thursday and never got a chance to scan it on Friday. So, of course, it sat there all weekend. So here it is.
You may also notice that the “cover” is missing to this. Well, I don’t like doing those covers, and have always wished I’d never started it. Partially, it’s because it’s hard for me to come up with two complimentary colors to use every week, that I haven’t previously used. Also, I always forget about doing a cover and then have to add one as an afterthought. I’m thinking I’m going to stop the covers altogether for the web strips. If I have enough people complaining and wanting them back, I’ll reconsider. But, as of right now, it makes life a lot easier without them.
Good one today! Don’t worry about the covers.
Awesome. And very touching. Every time the kids want to put on a show or play like the front porch is a luxury cruise ship (which is what we got yesterday), I think about Dad sitting on an upside down bucket for our restaurant after pulling a seventeen hour shift down at the fuel rack.
I like the covers, but it doesn’t suffer without them.
Preposterous! I won’t read any further issues without covers!
Also, I forgot to add that this was another good one. And, as you probably are already vaguely aware, enjoy these times while they’re here. They are gone way too soon.
I loved it, Mark. Dad will, too. Larry’s right – the time goes by way too fast! You’ll find that out soon enough.
Thanks, Marky!

Best ever. Well, maybe the best was the one about your grandmother. No, I like this one even more.
This would make a great Father’s day cartoon. Very nice. :}
Thanks. Sometime I gots to just get sensitive on you guys.
Love it! Without the covers is just fine, so no worries.
Well done Mark. Write, draw, tell your stories however you see fit – the rest will sort itself out, sensitive or no. IMHO, the cover isn’t the story and that’s what’s important in your (or anyone else’s) comic.
this one actually teared me up. I had such a soul sucking job a t one point i was too tired to play trains with my little guy on more than a few occasions and the guilt all came rushing back reading this. Powerful. And it reminds us how we cannot get these little moments back…
