Dads For Biggest Fans
This little cartoon is a tribute to my father I did for his birthday recently, depicting an event from my childhood. (And with no exaggeration, I might add.) ;)
Back then, I managed to snag a lead roll in my school play. During the curtain call, I cringed in embarrassment in seeing my dad standing tall among the audience, waving a big homemade paper banner with my name on it, shouting out to me with his reputably carrying voice.
Later, in the green room, another girl from the play came up to me, asking if it was my dad waving the banner. After mumbling in confirmation, (Since my name being on the banner made it too obvious to try denying it) I was sure she was going to laugh and make fun of me for being related to the man who had made a complete spectacle of himself. However, to my surprise, she simply said, "I wish my dad did that," and walked away....
Talk about a slap in the face to make my pre-teen self realize how awesome my dad really was.
So, here's to all those super dads out there who, hands down, win the award for "Biggest Fan."
