Fathers Are People
George Geef rushes to the office to inform his fellow employees, "Hey, fellas! I'm a father!". Unfortunately, Geef later learns that, with fatherhood, comes responsibility and lots of it. He must discipline his son when he starts fighting with neighboring kids, filling his pipe with bubble water, and pestering him while he tries to read the newspaper. But most difficult of all is getting him to pick up his toys which is no easy task. Finally, he gets ready to apply hair brush to child's behind but is talked out of it when he sees his son sleeping peacefully. "Kids, they're wonderful," he concludes.

"Goofy" (aka "George") is delighted to be a dad! No sooner is it born, though, than he is immersed in the cycle of washing, sterilising, ironing, feeding and terrifying it with his baby talk! Sleep? Well he's on night-duty too as that relentless feeding routine shows no sign of letting up! A family trip to grandma with more luggage than was used on the D-Day landings follows before the little critter makes it to the walking and talking stage - and then we get the quarrelling, bickering, playing and you can just tell what's coming next - yep, boisterousness and strops! It's quite a fun look at parental indulgence, the relentless of fatherhood and the innocence (and belligerence) of a child. Will poor "George" ever get a moments peace?
