[QUOTE="donna723, post: 303334, member: 1883"] This has always been one of my very favorite comic strips. It's one of the few where the family got older as time went by, the kids grew up and the parents aged. And it showed a very realistic version of parenthood and how it really is in most people's homes. GN is right, it went on for at least twenty years. In the last ones, the little boy (Michael) is grown up and married and has two children of his own, and the baby girl (Elizabeth?) is getting married. The final strips were about her wedding and it sometimes brought me to tears - can't say that about too many comic strips! And when the final storyline was over, the cartoonist (I think) went into retirement and they just started the comic strip all over again from the very beginning. You might be able to find some of the later ones online. [/QUOTE]
