Star Wars‘ extended universe might have an answer for the fate of Luke Skywalker’s lost hand after the events of The Empire Strikes Back, but cartoonist Doug Savage’s short is just a better one.
A great dad makes sure his son is better than he was. If you measure fatherhood by the accomplishments of offspring, then I’ve got substantial evidence that I’m the world’s best dad. Well, one of the best, at least. Outside of maybe George H.W. Bush or Archie Manning.
Fathers are easy to find in video games. When they’re not antagonising their offspring or killed off in the first level, they often serve as our main characters’ major motivation.
