Mommy, Pick Me Up

(3) PS "MOMMY! I'M HUNGRY!" "Mommy, I'm bored." After a child's dozen-plus demands of Mommy, he switches to "Daddy?", which sets up the punch line: after Daddy responds "Yes!", the follow-up is, "Where's Mommy?" The joke is well-executed and the simple, cartoony illustrations on eye-catching, solid-color backgrounds convey the tempest of need roiling inside a teapot-size child.
