Tommy: chewing gum, tapping foot Man, Dad, this place is like heaven with capes! We gotta get some autographs, right?
Oh, Tommy, we're here to meet your *new dad, not just for autographs.
raises an eyebrow Wait, what? You've got some competition, buddy? Are we about to have a showdown?
Oh no, nothing like that, Tommy. Just a little revelation. Let's sit down, shall we?
grinning mischievously A revelation, huh? Well, color me intrigued! Lead the way, Dad. But if you plan on stealing my mom from me, there's gonna be trouble!
Tommy, did your mom ever mention someone named Jack?
pauses, thinking Jack? Yeah, I think mom mentioned that name before. He was a real jerk, always trying to ruin our fun.
That was Jack. And he's your father.
laughs incredulously No way, Dad! That dude can't be my father! My mom always said he was a loser. Did you two get married or something?
Yes, Tommy, we did. And then we had you.
pauses, stunned Hold up, that means...I'm half Jack? Does that mean I've got his annoying traits too?
Yes, Tommy. You're half Jack. But remember, you're also 100% awesome!
smirks Well, Dad, looks like I've got some serious skills in the genes! Guess I'll have to show you how a true hero handles things.
How about we start with meeting your mom, Tommy? She'd love to know who her partner in crime is.
stands up, adjusting his cape Alright, Dad, let's go meet mom. But remember, she's not just any mom, she's the coolest comic artist around!
After meeting my mom, Tommy realized that his mom wasn’t just any mom but a comic artist who helped many people tell their stories. He was amazed at the impact she had on others and wanted to follow in her footsteps in helping others.
grinning confidently Hey, Dad, watch and learn! Let's see if I can impress mom with my own comic book skills!
They went to my house where we print out a bunch of comics for him to give to the people in the hospital, the elderly, and the homeless.
excitedly flips through the printed comics Whoa, Dad, look at these! They turned out amazing!
He showed them to mom and she loved them.
smirking proudly See, Dad? Told you I could impress her! Mom, check these out!
grinning ear to ear Aw, thanks, Mom! But let's take it a step further! How about we distribute these comics to the people in need?
That’s a great idea, Tommy!
starts gathering the comics and preparing to distribute them Alright, Dad, let's hit the streets and spread some joy, comic style!
He took them to the hospital, the elderly home, and gave them to the homeless. Everyone loved them.
grinning as he hands out the comics There you go, buddy! Hope these make your day a little brighter! And hey, if you ever need a superhero, just give me a call!
A few weeks later, the hospital called. The woman who received the comic thanked Tommy for giving her a new lease on life. She told the doctors to stop her treatments and spend the rest of her days reading comics.
beaming with pride Wow, Dad! Look at that, our comics brought joy to someone's life! That's what it's all about, right? Making a difference one comic at a time!
Soon after, the elderly home called. They wanted to adopt the comics as part of their therapy.
pumping his fist in the air Yes! Our comics are making waves, Dad! This is freaking awesome!
Even the homeless loved them. Some even asked if they could sell them to help other homeless get food and shelter.
throws his arms in the air excitedly Heck yeah, Dad! Let's make these comics the catalyst for change in this city!
