When I was growing up (and long after I’d already grown up!) my mother constantly demanded that I be a doctor. She once told me I’d become a cartoonist “over my dead body.”

Fortunately the second half of her prediction has not come true. Now she not only accepts my calling, but puts up with good humor my endless ribbing her in public about all this. Thanks for being a sport, mom.

Recently we heard of (what I will call) a cartoon mum passing away. It did bring home to us all how we should cherish our mothers while they are still with us.

Congratualtions to your mum, Alan, and I think I will ring mine tonight. She is 10,000 miles away and the call is overdue.

i live in cape town but come from zimbabwe where the local shona people have huge respect for elders but also a wonderful word meaning congratulations, so here’s a hearty “makorokoto” to your mom.

Happy Birthday, Mrs. Gardner!

Alan…does your mom ever read this blog and if so, what does she think?

She must be relieved to know that her son wasn’t the only one crazed about cartooning! Cartoonists are a rare breed :)

Behind every cartoonist, there is a very supportive mother. Happy birthday to Alan’s mom.
