Speaking the truth
Kids believe some wacky things, but who among us hasn’t been certain they were an official grown-up long before they entered adulthood?
A moment of bliss
The screaming will quickly remind you.
Too into the game
Sure, this marriage cartoon may be exaggerating things … slightly. But as most families can attest, game day is serious business.
Always be positive
Is this a cartoon about travel mishaps or musings on toxic positivity? You be the judge.
Class is in session
Yes, your parents have tons of great advice for you. No, they don’t need to use the entire car ride to give it.
Wake-up call
When it comes to family cartoons, this one might be a little too relatable. (What’s a parent have to do to get a little R&R around here?)
Playing by the rules
They have no idea what’s in store once they reach the Majors, aka adulthood.
Bodybuilder dad
Dad jokes: Legitimately funny. Dad moonlighting as a bodybuilder? We’ll skip the show.
Parent-teacher conference
Now, wait a minute! Stepparents are parents too, so we’ll be attending that parent-teacher conference, thank you very much.
