A Curious Case of Object Permanence
Obviously most people know me as a cartoonist, but I’m also a stay-at-home dad. I quit my last day job soon after my son was born and I’ve been juggling diaper pins and ink pens ever since.
Usually the two roles don’t intersect. I know a lot of cartoonists that get material from their families, but I prefer to have work be work, and Dad be Dad .
But, to be fair, occasionally they can’t help but overlap, such as the above cartoon which came about after a routine checkup at the pediatrician with my daughter.
(And, to be fair, “object permanence” is inherently funny.)

Mark, I have never heard of the phrase “object permanence” but I will tell you this: it made me laugh. And I have absolutely no idea why.
What is it about some phrases that just make you want to laugh?
