I'm not sure if people without kids understand the impact that the cup industry has had on the lives of the rest of us. We have cups. So very many cups. The kids account for the majority of them. My wife has insisted we try every single model of kid-friendly cup on the market so that we can find the right one for them and in the right colors. Everywhere we go, so go their cups. And when we get there, all of the kids have their own cups. Venues expect kids to have their own cups. If your kids don't have their own cups, you are viewed as a kind of monster. At the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man, we never had our own cups when I was a kid.

Of course, almost all of the remaining cups in our house belong to my wife. She has her own collection to rival the kids, but the one she usually uses is called a Stanley Tumbler. In fact, if you are lucky enough not to be aware, the cup model in the comic is the Stanley Tumbler. But note that I did not tell the image generation model to use the Stanley Tumbler. I simply described the type of cup, and it used the Stanley. This is the ubiquitousness of the Stanley Tumbler. Now that you know, you will start seeing them everywhere. You can do like me and refer it to the Stanley Cup to confuse people. And no, I'm not getting paid by Stanley to mention their cup this many times. I have no relationship with them at all. I just want you to get a feel for what my life is like every day.

After I made this comic and showed it to the wife, she told me that SNL had already made the same joke. I've never seen the sketch. I've barely watched any SNL in the last twenty-odd years, and the times I have it's because someone sent a sketch to me that they thought was funny. It's never funny. I know everyone thinks the show peaked when they were in high school. For me, it was elementary and middle school — the late 80/early 90s. Phil Hartman, Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Jon Lovitz, Chris Farley, Kevin Nealon, Adam Sandler, David Spade, Al Franken, Jan Hooks, Dennis Miller. You are simply not going to beat that era. So no, I didn't steal the idea.
