  1. Great cartoons! I am so glad my children are now adults (with one having an almost-teenager of her own). I don’t miss those “teenage years” with my children while at the same time glad I had the “experiences” with them. I certainly don’t miss the calls from the assistant principals regarding my son’s antics he pulled. After a few phone calls, I began answering: “What’s he done now?”

  2. The opening ‘toon (and at bottom) by Mace shows the distraction problems technology was causing 60+ years ago. My personal favorite here is # 5 down by John Dempsey. “Care to tell me about it, son?” I can only wonder the reason myself. Must be bad enough.
