11 Parenting Comics that Will Make Parenting Seem Not So Awful
I’m a designer and sort-of illustrator, so I have a natural affinity toward web comics. There’s something more important about them for me, though, and why I love to share them with you.

12 Weird & Edgy Family Comics
A good ol’, safe-for-kids joke has it’s place. Typically in front of kids. However, there’s a vast world of jokes that aren’t safe for kids, but don’t necessarily get super internet-gross or offensive. A funny, happy middle ground between the sweet innocence and sociopathic derangement. Let’s set down the kids-lunch juice box and enjoy a […]
11 Comics & Charts That Tell Thanksgiving Like It Is
Thanksgiving is supposed to be a time of reflection and appreciation. No really, I’m serious.

What Thanksgiving winds up being is often a lot more entertaining to look at […]

And by that I basically mean I can’t comfortably wear shorts anymore and my nipples […]
Board Game Ragers
Comic by According to Devin. I used to loooooove board games as a kid. Still do. Oh the sweet, cardboardy smell of the package!

Java – Comic by Lunar Baboon
Lunar Baboon Comics Never let your kids know your weaknesses. At least not until they’ve moved out… Okay, not even then. Maybe coffee isn’t your kryptonite.

Family Dinner – Fowl Language Comics
Fowl Language Comics I really don’t understand this whole “raising children” thing. I use the “air quotes” because it feels like my version of parenting is false and just wrong. My older son is a VERY picky eater and the subject of fruits and vegetables is so contentious that I am almost at the […]
Maximumble: Use for Toys
