Jim Everson: Father, Apple consultant, Cartoonist www.depotdad.com

Becoming a father was the single greatest thing that has ever happened to me. And this is coming from a guy with a pretty full track record of self indulgence. When I saw Oliver and Amélie being born I was profoundly changed.

Yes it is rough going sometimes. My wife and I never compromised when it came to parenting. We were BOTH devoted hard working parents, and it was STILL the hardest thing I have ever done. I do not know how single parents of little ones manage at all.

Well, I'm about to find out how to be a single parent of two young beautiful children, who are no longer babies.

I started creating comic stories for them 2 years ago, yes to amuse them, but also so that they might think their dad was, you know, kinda cool and not a complete dope.

I sure do think they are cool. Every night before bed I tell them," I am your papa. I will always be your papa. Where ever you go in life, you will always have a papa."
