From the December 7, 2012, Chicago Tribune.
FOR BETTER OR WORSE
FIRST FRAME: Ellie and friend are out shopping with their kids. Her friend's son is looking at a rack of war toys, pointing and saying "Mom! Mom!-- I Want Dat!!"
SECOND FRAME: His mom says, "No, Christopher-- I will not allow you to own toys that promote violence."
THIRD FRAME: Walking away, Ellie's daughter, Elizabeth sticks her tongue out and says, "Nyaah, Nyaah."
FOURTH FRAME: The boy was holding a pet monkey toy and hauls off and whaps Elizabeth on the back of her head with it.
I don't know, I always had war toys and played with them all my youth and I don't think I turned out so bad. And what about the video games these kids will be playing. You want to talk about your graphic violence.

WISDOM OF CHILDREN: Felt-tip markers are not good to use as lipstick.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
