#1. “The Future Is Not Modestly Dressed!”
A trip to the mall leaves Dad convinced he’s seen a terrifying glimpse of the future—teen fashion. This comic nails the relatable dad panic every parent feels when realizing their kids will one day be teens themselves.
#2. “Blame the Bookkeeper”
When sibling tattling becomes a full-time accounting job, you know parenting has reached new levels. Zoe’s spreadsheet joke is the perfect blend of nerdy and hilarious.
#3. “Coffee and Compliments—Maybe Next Year”
Dad’s resolution to start mornings with love and lattes falls hilariously flat. Moms everywhere will nod knowingly at the “I still have a few days left of laziness” logic.
#4. “Camping With Crickets”
Shopping for RVs quickly turns into a game of unrealistic expectations. The family’s deadpan reaction to Dad’s optimism is priceless.
#5. “Flowers vs. Weeds”
Mom plants flowers. Dad doesn’t notice. The twist? Wren notices—by pulling them out. Every gardener parent just felt this in their soul.
#6. “Doing Something Boring”
Siblings fighting over who gets to change a lightbulb? Only kids can turn mundane chores into coveted adventures. Parenting win: zero. Laughs: unlimited.
#7. “Not a Virus, Please”
When asked what she wants for Mother’s Day, Mom simply says: anything but a virus. Dad’s interpretation? An air compressor. Parenting logic at its finest.
#8. “Pet-Free Forever”
Kids beg for a dog, but Dad has “practical” reasons against it—like using the dog for dish duty. Zoe’s deadpan “we’ll be petless forever” seals the laugh.
#9. “Reindeer Eat Ponies”
All Zoe wants is a pony for Christmas. Dad, ever the dream-crusher, reminds her Santa’s reindeer would eat it. Brutal. Funny. Relatable.
#10. “Mom’s Age—Classified”
Homework takes a turn when Zoe asks Mom’s birth year. The refusal to answer? A+ comic timing and a very real parental move.
#11. “Life Skills: Toilet Scrubbing”
Dad’s attempt to pass along “life skills” crashes when the skill in question is toilet scrubbing. The kids: unimpressed. The mom: even less so.
#12. “Made of Money?”
When the kids ask for five dollars, Dad pulls out the classic line: “Do you think I’m made of money?” Zoe’s whispered “and jelly donuts” comeback makes it even better.
#13. “Vacation or Knee Brace?”
Caught “researching vacations,” Dad admits he’s shopping for a knee brace instead. Parenting life: where romance and family fun bow down to sore joints.
#14. “Pet Chickens and Therapy Bills”
Dad’s idea of backyard chickens as “pets and savings” quickly spirals into Mom predicting therapy bills. Comedy gold, farm-style.
#15. “Loan Application for Hot Wheels”
When Hammie wants new toy cars, he fills out a loan application. Zoe makes it “official” by writing “automotive needs.” Financial genius in training.
#16. “Jinga Bewws!”
Toddlers have their own language. For this one, “Jinga Bewws” is repeated until everyone is forced to hear it. Parents, brace yourselves—this is the soundtrack of your lives.
#17. “First Date Amnesia”
When asked what Mom wore on their first date, Dad’s only answer is: “clothes.” Every wife reading this just rolled her eyes in solidarity.
#18. “Chess is Boring”
Zoe just wants to learn chess, but Dad’s delay tactics end in a letdown: chess seems boring. Relatable parenting lesson—sometimes enthusiasm dies mid-explanation.
