Filled with more than 500 groan worthy jokes to torment your kids, this collection makes it possible for dads to fill any moment of dead air with a joke that will have everyone within hearing distance rolling their eyes and edging away to avoid association with you. Jokes like . . .

I don't have a dad bod; I have a father figure.

I saw a sign that said Watch for Children. That sounded like a good trade to me.

and of course . . .

When does a joke become a dad joke? When it's fully groan.

About the author

I’ve loved drawing all my life but I started doing it as a profession kind of by accident. I grew up in Southern California and went to San Diego State University. During the summers I worked as a tour guide at Universal Studios, what a great job! And I met some really good friends while I was there. I was an actor in Los Angeles for a while doing plays, some TV and a few commercials. I was even on some soap operas. It was during this time that I met my awesome wife Vicki in Newport Beach. After we got married we moved to the northwest. We love it here. We have a beautiful daughter, Christie and a black and white Rescue cat- Gracie.

When we moved, I couldn’t find a full time job so I started drawing for ads and TV and clients around town. Then God got me hooked up with Harvest House publishers and my writing and illustrating career took off. Since then I’ve gotten to work with some really great people like Focus on the Family, World Vision, The Los Angeles Times, The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and the Charlotte Hornets.

One of my favorite verses in the Bible is Jeremiah 29:11- “I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for good and not for evil to give you a future and a hope.”

I know that’s been true for me and I know it’ll be true for you too. I hope you enjoy this site and learn some stuff from it. We’ll keep adding new features all the time so make sure you keep coming back and visiting.

Things I love: summer, ice cream, hamburgers, drawing, Duck football and basketball, working on books, speaking to groups of kids

Things I don’t love: broccoli, getting up early, committees

Reviews

[Julier · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is funny the whole way through. Illustrated by the author on at least every other page. It is a welcome change of pace! I got my copy from the local library. Enjoy!

If you boil your funny bone, does that make it a laughingstock? Thought that was humerus.

BAD QUOTE: Always give 100 percent. Unless you're donating blood.

I slept like a log last night. Woke up in the fireplace.

What do you call an alligator with a law degree? A litigator.

I won this as a Goodreads Giveaway in exchange for an honest review. This was a quick read as it is a joke book. Cute, clever and fun,

I think the jokes are great. Also I'm ten years old.
