About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

That's a blast from the past
That's like the father asking for a DNA test on the mom...when he was there for the birth
My favorite joke in American Dad is really subtle. It's one of the early episodes where Stan is getting to know Jeff Fischer.
Jeff: My mom left us before I was born.
Stan: How....how could she do that?
(Ah, a fellow Dadder.)
The icing on the cake of that joke is Stan's baffled delivery of that line, somewhat sympathetic of Jeff's statement while just absolutely lost on the mechanics of it. Just gold.
It's also a joke on Phineas and Ferb with Dr Doofenshmirtz's terrible childhood:
"It all began on the day of my actual birth. Both of my parents failed to show up."
Yes that is the joke.
You know what's sad? The fact we're to a point where it's actually a very very good idea to get a DNA test on the baby before taking them home. Not for infidelity, but in case the baby was swapped, both by accident or maliciously.
I'm trying hard to find a fact that its getting worse, but seems like the last research done on the temporary/permanently swapped babies was 1998, and the handling of babies has improved greatly since then.
Have you read something that makes it sound worse?
Perhaps naticus is paranoid. I've birthed three children and remember before each baby leaves my sight, nurses give a matching scannable ID wristband to mother and baby.
I've just heard too many stories about it happening. Does that mean it's really happening? Not sure, but I've also not looked into confirmed reports, and there's a lot of controls put into place for a reason. I just usually err on the side of caution when it comes to simple human error as well as the very real threat of human trafficking.
I didn't let my baby out of my sight the entire time my wife was recovering in the hospital. Absolutely not risking a swap or kidnapping, regardless of how likely or unlikely it is. I'd recommend everyone do that if it's feasible to have someone always watching the baby during cleaning and testing.
I get the joke, but it falls a little flat for me. I am biased though, as I am the kid without a mom.
