It is one thing to have occasional arguments with your wife. It is another thing altogether to have a wife who likes to cartoon you when she is angry.
Many years ago when Papi and I were first married, our arguments were uncomplicated. For example, if he would try to give me directions from a map if I was spelling him at driving, I would just react immediately.
Over the many years I became adept at cartooning Papi. This had major drawbacks anytime we had a major fight. The first one was when we were watching the movie "Gorillas in the Mist".
Shortly thereafter, our oldest daughter was obsessed with the little mermaid. Soooo....
And sometimes he just pissed me off in general.
All told this poor man has been drawn in horrible ways for decades. However, it is not always without reason because although he is a wonderful man and a great father, occasionally he can actually act like, well, like any man, an asshole.
And everyone should understand that he gets me back in his own special ways. A good example is when Papi decides he is going to make beef stew for everyone.
But even then, he is my Papi and I love him. After so many years, and so many cartoons, he still has a sense of humor about it. And I look forward to growing old with him...
And drawing him for many more years.
Right, honey?
