Charlie Update

My boy is growing fast. He's 12 pounds now, and almost half as tall as his mother! (He's 24 inches tall, and she's 64 inches.... Okay, that math doesn't really work, but he is getting really big!)
I haven't seen Speed Racer or Iron Man, and I'm probably going to miss Indiana Jones too. This is what I do with my time instead:

...Which is way more rewarding to me. Charlie loves picture books, and I love reading them to him. M. Sasek's books are his favorites. He kicks his legs and squeels at the good pictures - which is pretty much all of them. He also likes to babble along with me as I read to him. It's a hoot.

So if you see me around, I won't be able to give you my opinion on the new Hulk tor GTA 4. But, if you need any facts on the Saturn rocket, or the name of the first monkey in space, I'm your man!

Dave, it was great to meet Charlie for the first time last night! You are a good Dad and it's nice to know you're instilling in him an appreciation for good cartoon art.

I had no idea you were a new Papa! Congrats, you old fogey! It's the greatest thing since sliced bread...

roque said...

Hey Fred!

It was great seeing you too. I can also tell you for a fact that Charlie prefers John Buscema's Conan the Barbarian comics to Barry Windsor-Smith's! Sniff...My boy!

Hiya, Roque!

What's your secret for getting out to the movies? I've tried Jedi mind tricks on the wife, but she's way to clever. Maybe Vulcan nerve pinches...

My secret is letting the wife go see "Sex and the City" with her gal pals first...

I'm on to you, Dave Thomas. Took me awhile, but I'm on to you, you cartoon genius, you!

"E.M."

P.S. Very cute baby, indeedie.

Oh boy, a mystery!

Normally I'd crack this riddle right away...But it's early right now...And I'm not very clever. But it will come to me!...Eventually
