See? A happy ending. Well, not a sad ending, at least.
My son is headed off to college in about a week and a half, and I can’t help but notice that’s being reflected in the strips I’m working on right now. And I’m sure this theme will pop up in a few more strips, too.
I know, I know… the “empty nest” syndrome is such a cliche’. But there’s a reason cliches come into being.

Tony,
Just wanted to let you know how much I look forward to your new strips. Don’t worry about T leaving for school, your relationship just moves to a new level.

Actually, I was more depressed at the end of the American Legion season. I’m okay for now. But we both know what’s it’s like to be married to the waterworks (if you know what I mean…)
