Know a kid 6-12? Check out our graphic novels: Giants Beware, Dragons Beware and Monsters Beware. The NYTimes called book 1, a “rollicking fun adventure.” They also called me out for poop/vomit jokes (Not sorry). By me & Rafael Rosado. Color by @johnnovak.bsky.social from @01firstsecond.bsky.social

Trying to cram every single life lesson upon my son before he leaves for college in the Fall feels like Jor El putting all the knowledge of Krypton into the crystal spaceship before launching Superman to Earth. #superman

One day, you're in the prime of youth, bar hopping in the Lower East Side. The next thing you know, you're killing two hours twice a week at the Mall at Short Hills in Jersey while your kid is at fencing class. Whiplash of life.

To be absolutely clear, Pete Buttigieg stole my look. I had a beard first. In the spirit of generosity I will allow there to be two highly intelligent Midwestern Men with beards and difficult to pronounce last names.
But I had the beard first, Pete.

PADDINGTON IN PERU is a masterpiece. Although it’s a film about Paddington going to Peru it’s also about parents sending kids off to college/empty nesting. the movie was a delight, but as a parent 6mo away from sending my first kid away, I also had to resist sobbing in my popcorn. A masterpiece.

On the dating apps, I feel weird about seeing tons of women’s profiles with pictures of them in bathing suits. Are the men’s profiles full of men in Speedos? Do I need to post a picture of me like this guy from the Speedo website? (JK - NOBODY wants to see me in a Speedo). #dating

Maybe it's because I'm on the East Coast, but it's uncanny how many pictures of women on boats I see on dating app profiles. I am neither pro or anti-boat pictures. I'm just surprised and wondering if I need a boat picture too? #dating
