Sometimes I get the feeling that I'm
stranded in the wrong time
where love is just a lyric in a children's rhyme

They invented hugs to let people know you love them without saying anything.

I like to feel that what I'm doing portrays this: a family where there is love between mother, father and the kids. It's a subject that is near and dear to me.

I don't have to come up with a ha-ha belly laugh every day, but drawings with warmth and love or ones that put a lump in the throat. That's more important to me than a laugh.

God put Santa Claus on earth to remind us that Christmas is 'sposed to be a happy time.

Many of the network television shows have done takeoffs on 'Family Circus,' including 'David Letterman,' 'Friends,' 'Roseanne,' and others, and, in my estimation the use of them is a compliment to the popularity of the feature, which just by mentioning it's name sets up the image of a warm, loving family-type feature.
