Notes: For some reason, my parents didn't find this strip in the least bit funny. I tried to explain to them that it was a joke, but they didn't see it that way (never mind the fact that neither the dad nor the mom in this cartoon look ANYTHING like my real life parents). To this day, when this comic comes up in conversation my mother always says, "I never met you at the door with garbage!"

Just for the record .... it's true, she never did meet me at the door with garbage. But it's still a funny gag.
