A comic for my son's graduation

Post by Andy »

This comic is to commemorate my son Daniel's graduation from high school. Over the years, as I've watched him grow, I've often thought of the song My Boy by Neil Young. The words to this comic are the lyrics to that song. You can hear that song here: http://s0.ilike.com/play#Neil+Young:My+ ... 865270052"
The drawings show just how quick a little boy grows to be a man - just about this fast!

Very nice! :D

(Very happy to see the story is NOT set to Harry Chapin's "Cat's in the Cradle")

Wow. I'm both touched and incredibly impressed. I'd love to be able to give my daughter something that beautiful on her graduation day.

Hello Andy,

Thanks for sharing as always. I love the different shirts and how he is always busy with his hands.

Peace, maka

Thanks everybody. Yes, Dan is very "hands-on". As I was looking through snapshots to find references, I found it remarkable that he was often doing models, etc. And as a young man, he excels in robotics and will go into Information Technology.

No, "Cats in the Cradle" is a cautionary tale that none of us wants to have as the soundtrack to our lives.

Very neat.

My own son, Matthew graduated from high school as well. He will be going off to college in a couple of months.

By the way, he did make Eagle Scout a few months ago, just before he turned 18. I bring this up because I know Andy's son is an Eagle himself.

Wow, Stan, that is great to hear. I was wondering if Matthew had gotten his Eagle award yet. It is a lot of work, and a great achievement.

Dan will go to Penn Tech for Information Technology. Has Matthew chosen a major yet?
