This cartoon, like his others, actually illustrates the Carolyn Hax advice column in the Washington Post. Today’s column headline is “The ‘far too involved’ in-laws.” It addresses the concerns of a woman whose daughter has told her that her husband (i.e. the son-in-law) is upset that the daughter shares too much about their lives with her parents. But Oge is not far off — the daughter and husband live in a house owned by her parents, who also provide free child care two days a week.

Good catch, Oge (and probably the rest of you, too). At first, I didn’t realize it was a roo-in-roo-in-roo drawing!
