Flight of Fancy Heading #1 Happy Father's Day Heading #2 Fathers in Science Fiction and Fantasy Hook Who are the good fathers in Fantasy and/or Science Fiction? About this Newsletter My father read to me, he read the Sunday comics: Alley Oop, Blondie, Little Orphan Annie, Li'l Abner, etc. Those comics were the closest my father came to reading fairy tales or science fiction to me. I remember that some of them had father or father figures in them. Little Orphan Annie had Daddy Warbucks,Blondie's husband was Dagwood, and Li'l Abner's father was Pa Yokum. There could have been other comics with fathers in them, which I don't remember. Were these men in the comics good fathers? Yes, for the era when they were created. Letter from the Editor Are there any good fathers in fantasy and/or science fiction? According to my research there are ten, and since I have no intention of defining a good father, I will go with them. I believe that, as individuals and authors, we need to define good or bad fathers for ourselves or our characters. This top ten list of good fathers, which can be found on GeekDad.com ![]() The list provided by Geek Dad, beginning with number one, are Gepppetto, Ben Sisko, Sam Vimes, Jonathan Kent, Arthur Weasley, Rau Kinsella, Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible), Bill Amada, Jor-El, and Kyle Reese. My favorite on that list are Geppetto, Ben Sisko, Jonathan Kent, and Jor-El. I like Geppetto and Jonathan Kent because neither of them expected to become a father. Jonathan Kent adopted Kal-El (Clark Kent), while Geppetto became a father when Pinocchio, unexpectedly, came to life. I like Jonathan Sisko because, as a single father, he did a good job of raising Jake. He attempted to balance his duties at Deep Space 9, with his job as a father to Jake. I like Jor-El because he made sure, despite the fact that he knew he was doomed, that his son survived. Who do you like on this list? Who would you like to add to this list? Do you have any stories with either good or bad fathers in them? Editors Picks
