Last week’s cartoon, on how depression can affect (or enhance) creativity, is here.

Today’s cartoon is about family. Yup, them. So close at the holidays, which is sometimes great, and sometimes not so much.

They say you get to choose your friends, but not your family. But that’s not always true…

Of course, adoption agencies don’t accept Amazon wish lists, but they do try hard to match the child with the family’s wishes and needs.

I’m so happy it worked out for this family.
