Happy Father's Day

[icon_uk]

It's been a pretty bloody awful week all things considered, the tragedy in Orlando, the murder of a British MP, the general political situations on both sides of the Atlantic (and elsewhere in the world of course) and my mood is definitely not helped by the latest news about Anton Yelchin passing away.

As such I am using the BIG guns to celebrate Father's Day because I think I need to.


Now I like to think I'm a good Uncle, but am too old, too set in my ways and too selfish for fatherhood to be something I'd aspire to. However, I was blessed with a father I loved and who loved me and though he's long since passed away, I have many happy memories to look back on with a smile.

In terms of comic book fathers, there are a few that stand out, but you KNOW who my default choice will be... and given the week, I'm going for the big guns..



I might also recommend the Cabbage Patch story about how Terry came into Bruce's life....

And if that's STILL not enough, then here is today's Calvin and Hobbes reprint

Yeah, that was a terrific payoff to a throwaway line.
