On the day of mothers

On important holidays that celebrate people I love, I always want to give them something meaningful that shows my deep appreciation for them...but usually I just end up drawing something weird for them.

I diverged from my usual style in at attempt to imitate the inimitable Sir Quentin Blake. This drawing is from a year ago today, but the story is much older. A classic that is often retold. One that I will not soon forget. I couldn't think of any cartoon for today's occasion that would top it, so here you go.

(For the record, I'm pretty sure we were well-behaved for the remaining duration of that shopping trip.)
