Being the market mastermind that he is, he will wait until he's exhausted the sales potential of the baby update book, then have another child and start again.

I feel like Stad The Younger is turning 18 and moving off to college. But really, she's still a toddler. Maybe she's still moving off to college? Her dad's a Stanford man, so she's got to be pretty smart, too.

Hmmm... I remember figuring out the Stanford thing a while ago.  Where is that bit of information actually mentioned?  You know in case I have to cite it and all.

I'm a little curious about the choice of ending the baby / kid / toddler updates now.  Chris, you're right around the corner from having real conversations with the wee beastie.  Having a serious conversation with a five year old is like getting high for the first time again.  Enjoy it.  Savor it.  It's only a few years after that when all they understand is gossip and the gross consumer bullshit that gets fed to them.

I guess I'm bitter.  I have this cousin who is so wonderful and smart.  But around 8 or 9 she stopped being able to speak in sentences that didn't contain the names of other children or those of licensed products.  The modern incarnation of the Disney channel is quite evil.

Well, maybe the time that she can start having real conversations is exactly when she needs to have some privacy and not have someone else posting her words on the Internet. Or maybe it's just doesn't work as well for him Artistically as putting his own words to the blank canvas that is the pre-talking kid. 

Anyway, we can't fight it. Farewell, baby updates.

I don't know if it's ever been brought up in his blog, but it's been mentioned several times in Onstad's various interviews.

Shit.  This really lowers my opinion of the guy.  Oh well, he draws funny comics.

Idont know what exactly to make of that. I feel like it is so much that he must be putting us on like "this is the kind of stuff the stanford would ask, and this is what homeless people, as real humans, would answer." Basically I just dont think it is real. Onstad has a soul like the rest of us.

I don't think he actually conducted such an interview, except maybe in his imagination.
