::21:: April 2007

Notice anything different with this month's title head?
It's being adorned with stuff from the pre-school age group: yoyos and a girlie bracelet, instead of a pacifier, bib and rattle. Decided to give my comics the opportinity to cover a wider range of issues concerning growing up. My own kids are growing up too, hence I can draw inspiration from them too!

This the age where they enjoy doing grown-up things, and one of these is playing house or "masak-masak". Some guys may consider this gag a low blow to you hardworking fathers out there. I know some of you do work hard at being dads. But somehow the kids always seem to pick up the worst habits from their parents!

Tip for guys thinking of doing proposing... don't do it at a kid-friendly restaurant, unless you're sure your girlfriend is pro-kids! Beware, drama at a table with kids is not for the faint-hearted! You might want to consider pushing your wedding date to a decade later.

First day of school is always an anxious day for mothers. I rarely see fathers hover over their little ones like flustered mother hens. Personally I didn't shed any tears, but like many parents, I didn't really realise my kids were growing up so quickly until I first saw them put on their school uniforms.

Another piece inspired by my own kids who were playing with Lego, building houses and making up stories and scenes. I thought it was quite amusing to visualise the holy family in a setting with modern comforts.

As parents we need to set good examples for the kids to follow, and this can sometimes be very hard! Parents are afterall humans with their own weaknesses.

Occasionally when the kids test your patience, I actually habour similar thoughts like this anti-kids colleague in this comic! I think children are one of those what I call "ironic" gifts from God. Man want these gifts even though they know challenges and sacrifices come with such gifts. Sometimes we don't appreciate God's gifts till they're taken away or when it's too late.

::15:: September 2006

Drew inspiration from the Genting trip we went during the September school holidays. I remember there was a lot of preparation beforehand to make sure we had everything covered. And then there was the challenge entertaining strapped up kids during the drive, carrying or pushing them around in the theme park when they're tired or napping, and getting them to eat their meals. Going on a trip with kids cannot be strictly called a "holiday" for the parents because I think we ended up more tired than revitalised! But...the important thing was that the kids had fun and thankfully they didn't fall sick during the trip.

Apologies :: 1 year late!

My sincere apologies to my faithful fans out there, who have been patiently waiting for over a year for updates!!! I finally decided to bite the bullet and scan all the comics for the past year and post them as soon as I can.
