Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present.

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

Many of my cartoons are not a belly laugh. I go for nostalgia, the lump in the throat, the tear in the eye, the tug in the heart.

Lovesick, bitter and hardened heart. Aching, waiting for life to start

A hug is like a boomerang - you get it back right away.

A peaceful home is as sacred a place as any chapel or cathedral.

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.
