Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for July 23, 2010

He’s gotten too much billing already.

THE FIRST EVER “Daddy’s Home” CARTOON CAPTION CONTEST! Monday, 7/26. See you there.

No, quacking sounds more like “AFLAC”.

Tony, I can’t wait. And I like the pelican.

I Love the pelican!

Those who hear but refuse to understand are doomed to the think every aquatic bird they see is a duck.

Hey Tony, does the pelican have a name or do we get to name him/her?

Obviously, these people have never seen a duck or a pelican before.

very “Daddy’s Home”

love love pelicans

Call it the Louie effect. Come up with a cute animal for the humans to play off. Give said animal a supporting cast. Next thing you know the strip’s all about the mice.

Me personally - I like my comic strips to be realitively politic-free. If I want political commentary, I know where to go.

I understand the writer’s right to be involved … but, I don’t have to like it - do I?

Now, all the haters can pile on - yes, the situation is the gulf is tragic - I know that - and am aware. But a daily comic strip is not (in my opinion) the right place to drum up support … that’s my two cents.

Pelican? Wolverine! Axel has the same problem.

They sort of snort, they a bit like pigs
