Phoebe: Mom, Dad, I'm gonna go play outside. Dad: Aw! C'mon, stay inside and play video games. Phoebe: This better not be some kind of reverse psychology. Mom: Quiet! You're gonna make me lose a guy.

We seem to have a parenting fail here. Sure, have a LAN party every once in awhile, but let’s find a balance here.

I am reminded of a very old article in MAD Magazine – I mean very old – where the old rock-n-rollers have grown up and are disturbed by their children who have grown up to be “square” – responsible, neat, studious, the works. But joy is restored when their “rebellious” grandkids want nothing more than to be “hip.”

If my parents had ever said this to me, I would fainted from shock. Video games in my childhood were usually only after homework was done.

Comic strip parents often feel kind of dated. I think a lot of people base them on their own parents. And considering if you’re doing a comic strip you’re probably an adult yourself, you’re depicting parents of a different generation than a contemporary child would actually have. So instead I based Phoebe’s parents on my nerdy friends.

Dana, thank you. You are totally correct about most comic strip parents. These two are a refreshing change.

I would have considered myself VERY lucky to have playful parental units.
