This year, Dad's birthday card was pulled from the headlines... the headlines around here anyway.... and the comics section...

Dad brought home a Star Wars pen from my brother's house last week and gave it to me as the " piece de resistance " of my Star Wars collection. And he's always threatening to read me either " The Phantom " or " Prince Valiant " from the paper. Then there was the " Foof " sound effect which " sparked " the whole thing. So, yeah, current events.

Oh! I only drew the pants on the Phantom behind Dudley in the last panel... and the fire to his torch. The rest was ripped from the... comics section.
