  1. My favourite is the first one and yes I agree with the text. At that age, all babies (unless of course they’re yours) looks the same. I also like number three and can identify with what his neighbour says. I am so glad my kids are grown.

  2. These really ARE an interesting group of cartoons, aren’t they?! The top two definitely speaketh the truth. Number 4 (from ’64) is a little weird, but the art is great. Number 6 (by Zeis) is a lot weirder, actually.
