In all seriousness. The Far Side and Calvin and Hobbs were glimmers of laughter in a sea of pain and darkness for the wife and I.
I will not go into detail but when we were well into a way of being pregnant with our first son there were some very scary, sad and heart breaking moments. Going to bed was a tough time. Somehow we countered by reading 30 mins of Calvin and Hobbs and the Far Side as a way to go prepare fort sleep with some humor, endless chuckles, hope and joy before we faced a new day of pain.
