Cartoon: Heir eParent

Written by Rob Cottingham / September 6, 2009 8:25 PM / 3 Comments

Funny how digital technologies that can connect us over huge distances can also distract us from the people closest to us. I'm as guilty of that as anyone... and probably a lot more than most.

Case in point: I lost count of the number of times I rebuffed my daughter while drawing this cartoon.

Then again, we re-bonded afterward over WALL-E for the Wii and "Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor" on my iPhone. So don't hold your breath waiting for me to go off the grid quite yet.

More Noise to Signal.

  2. Great cartoon. Makes me think about how much time I spend on social media vs how much time I am fully engaged with my family.
