  1. You’ve got some good ones here, definitely. Love # 2 down here by Henry Mace. The poor kid doesn’t understand the ‘choo-choo and ding-ding’ were driving daddy nuts. #5 about Kevin by Chon Day is wonderful. #9 down from ’63 also. “I don’t care WHO you are! Just get her outta here and off my hands before she’s declared an old maid!”

    My favorite is #11 (opening and bottom) by Bob Barnes. That little brat trying to launch tiddly winks into poor sleeping dad’s mouth. Just look at that boy’s eyes and mouth. He’s really enjoying it. Dad just can’t win. Almost always coming in a distant 2nd to Mom, then and now. So many people still don’t know Sunday’s Father’s Day.
