COMICS
Pancake Genes Run in the Family
Almost TV-worthy family situations made into comics, featuring our obsession with pancakes, Harry Potter, pebbles, and free stuff.
Every family has its quirks, I know. But my family has such a unique combination of endearment and insanity that it would merit being made into a sitcom of the “Malcolm in the Middle” type. Since the sitcom never materialized, here are some comic depictions of our best moments.
As kids in the early 2000s, my brother and I would reread all the Harry Potter books that had come out up to that point during our summer holidays. We did not read any other books, no exaggeration there. As a future linguist, I eventually started spicing it up by reading Harry Potter in foreign languages (which I still do sometimes!). My Gen-Z sister prefers the movies (duh!). But there is something on which we do agree….
Pancakes are the hot stuff in my family. Are you bored? Pancakes. Do you crave something sweet? Pancakes. It’s 7 pm. Pancakes.
