The genesis of this strip was when my parents broke out some very old home movies.

There was a scene of my brother, aged maybe four (he's 21 now, and taller than me), about to blow out the candles on his birthday cake.

"Make a wish," my grandmother tells him.

My brother looks at her and says, in a singsongy toddler way, "I wish CHEESE was in your hair!"

It was too much a Timulty moment not to become a strip in some form.
