Mother\u2019s Day is on the way.<\/p>\n

\"Roz<\/a><\/p>\n

Six days and counting. Mother\u2019s Day has been going on since 1908, which, coincidentally, is the year my mother Mollie was born. Just a coincidence? I think yes. I owe a lot to my mom. She discouraged me from being a cartoonist, and without that discouragement, I wouldn\u2019t have been motivated to succeed. Also, she could be really annoying when she wanted to get her way. I am, too, and that has helped me a lot in life.<\/p>\n

I realize those anecdotes are not very heartwarming, and to make up for it, I want to share with you a heartwarming clip from the forthcoming documentary “Drawing Life” about George Booth, written and directed by Nathan Fitch. In this scene, cartoonist Seth Fleishman and his mother tell how Seth reached out to George when his mom, a long-time Booth fan, faced a life-threatening health crisis. The story illustrates George\u2019s epic heart and illuminates the difference cartoons can make in life\u2019s most dire moments.<\/p>\n
