Happy Father’s Day (from the Blog)

2011-06-13 21.11.26

I already posted this picture on my tumblr but I didn’t have a chance to really comment on this. Target (and god knows who else) has a full line of father’s day cards from the pets. Assuming these are for the use of grown people, I …well, I don’t know. Maybe I don’t have anything to add. I poop, you scoop.

My dad deserves more than a card but that is what I got him (of course he does have the special gift of knowing I am coming to visit soon). It is not easy to pick out a father’s day card because they ALL have a Grilling/Bar-B-Q or Farting or Remote Control or Beer theme. I don’t know about yours, but my dad is a complex man, I mean sure when I called him today he was about to go golfing (which, I suppose, would have qualified him for a decent 35% of the cards) but it’s all too reductive. But, he’s not my mom so he’d be a little confused by a homemade card and terrified by one of those sensitive feelings cards.  Not much to do put choose the most fitting Far Side card and move on.

Pajamagrams next year.

Happy Father’s Day to all!
