Father's Day - Guardian of the Dad Jokes!

In the mood for a Tuesday afternoon smile? Perhaps you’re looking for the perfect card for your playful pappy this Father’s Day? Melbourne illustrator Tali Gal-on from Milk and Cookies has come up with the goods… a celebration of the humble (yet enduring) Dad Joke!

Dad Jokes Father's Day Card by Milk and Cookies

Tali explains, “The first skill men develop as soon as they become fathers is the ability to tell cringey dad jokes. I’ve seen it, you’ve seen it, we all know it’s true. These dad super skills are not always appreciated as much as they should be, so I thought, dads surely deserve an official title and a medal for their life’s greatest work, the dad joke.

Available at the Milk and Cookies Etsy Store.
