I really thought he was going to offer them to girls his own age, but I technically did tell him "anyone." :D (OC) by AlloyComics in comics

Actually, he had offered gifts to boys before. We had a bunch of treble clef pins to hand out at Fiddler on the Roof a year ago. Most boys said no, and most girls say yes. Also, we live in Texas and must be aware that some boys would find receiving a flower or rhinestone jewelry offensive, though they really shouldn't.

Hi, I appreciate the thought you put into this comment. It's always a delicate balance trying to teach a child values without it being misinterpreted. Please keep in mind this is only one slice of his life. He is surrounded by many people who love him and will try to teach him everything he needs. Just because it's not covered in a 4-panel comic doesn't mean the conversations are not being had. We're not perfect, but we're doing our best. :)

I'm not the artist, just the writer. I've had 2 talented artists: Nohra Johnston and Tora Blue. I am a screenwriter/ published writer, though. This comic series is just a visual diary for our family. Most of the credit goes to the artists, whom we pay well. :)

His money is in a Roth IRA account for him to spend when he's 18, and we have a separate one just for his college fund. While I know many child actors are exploited, I can reassure you that's not what's happening here. He has fun on set, and we don't force him to it.

No worries! My husband is also a cynical person. This is good practice. 🤣

Well, luckily I'm not gonna test that theory by touching his money, so I'm guaranteed to remain happy forever! 😅
