What has two horns, a wooden leg, and a super-cooled nuclear core?
Feel free to think about it long and hard--but if you need help solving this riddle, allow me to elucidate with the following clues.
CLUE # 1: The Costume Shop.
In our town of Provo, there is a certain costume shop on Center street that always has scantily-clad mannequins displayed in the windows. One day, while Allison and Sawyer were walking by said shop...
Dada!
CLUE # 2: The Storybook.
One day, while innocently reading a picture book together...
Dada!
Clue # 3: The Screensaver Slideshow.
And again, one morning while Sawyer was watching our family photos go by on the slideshow...
Dada!
Something the matter, honey?
Yeah...
How certain are you that I'm Sawyer's father?
These are, of a truth, how events unfolded.
So, have you guessed the answer to the riddle?
[Addendum: Sawyer has moved from the habit of pointing at seemingly random things and saying "Dada," to the habit of pointing at seemingly random things and saying "Not Dada." For instance, the other day he brought me a book from our shelf and, while pointing proudly to the cover image of a weathered and bearded Walt Whitman, exclaimed "NOT DADA!" He followed this by further explaining to me that Mr. Whitman is also "Not Jesus" and "Not Santa."]
That was hilarious! If it makes you feel any better, I don't think my daughter actually knows who I am.
ReplyDeleteThat pretty much made my morning. Little kids are the best. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFantastic, fun boards. Absolutely love your timing and pacing.
ReplyDeletehaha, that's great man!! Quite a lot of work you put into this!
ReplyDeleteHaha, that is so hilarious. Love it.
ReplyDeleteSo... you ARE the father, right?
ReplyDeleteGreat drawings Anthony!
ReplyDeleteKids don't always make sense. Jed's kid took her first steps to me and not to either parent. It's true. There is video evidence.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Sawyer is so cute, I love how he's drinking from his sippy cup while watching the slideshows. That made my night, awesome storyboard adventures!
ReplyDeleteGood stuff.
ReplyDeleteI don't actually laugh at a lot of things when I'm just siting alone in my room and there's no one get me started with their own laughter. Y'know?
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud at this. Very nice facial expressions!
P.S. - The word verification for this post required that I type the word "undarks". Now I feel racist.

ReplyDeleteSometimes you have to figure out who you're not before you can learn who you really are. Stick with it! Sawyer's helping you get edumacated.

What is a bolhal? That was my word verification. I am nervous to look it up myself...
That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.
ReplyDeleteAnd your storyboards own mine. And you just did it for fun...
These are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThis is just too funny. Your expressions are spot on.
ReplyDeleteHippie, you've always been so good at telling the whole story in one image and yet here nothing is lost and much is gained with it all laid out in boards! You truly are a master of both time and space.
ReplyDeleteAnd now, solely because everyone else felt the need to tell you their verification word, I give you: upgralt.
Is it just me or are they starting to sound more and more like real words?
Taylor Made!
