“My father was a really sharp cartoonist and filmmaker. He used to tape-record the family surreptitiously, either while we were driving around or at dinner, and in 1963 he and I made up a story about a brother and a sister, Lisa and Matt, having an adventure out in the woods with animals.” MadeStoriesUsedFatherAnimalRecordsAdventureBrotherWoodsDinnerDrivingFilmmakerTapeCartoonist Author:Matt Groening

“Once women invented farming, and began to keep and breed animals, they discovered the crucial function of the rooster and the henhouse. Fathers suddenly gained a function, and could do what only women had been able to do for all those millions of years--point at a child and say, "That is my son," "That is my daughter." Patriarchy quickly followed, beginning about five thousand years ago; a very short time in the development of our species, but covering all of recorded history.” YearsChildrenAbleFatherAnimalMillionsFiveSonDevelopmentThousandDaughterYears AgoFunctionSpeciesMy DaughterMy SonCrucialThousand YearsPatriarchyFarmingCoveringShort TimeRoosters Author:Frank Pittman
“The center of life is female - we all come from our mothers. I've always drawn women or female spirits. I feel deeply about this - who gives a damn about some guy on a cross? My mother's creativity was smothered after she married and raised a family, but she was supportive of me - even my father expected me to carry on in her footsteps. I prefer to have no kids but lots of animals.” GivingFeelsKidsLife IsSpiritMotherGuyFatherAnimalCreativityMarriedFemaleCrossesRaisedExpectedDamnSupportiveFootsteps Author:Vali Myers
