I’ve been getting inquiries about buying original art or obtaining prints of specific Pajama Diaries strips. Please refer to the “Support the Diaries” page for more information about this.

As many of you have noticed, I’ve been addressing in the strip not just national holidays like Halloween or Thanksgiving, but major Jewish holidays as well. This is an important (although not fundamental) aspect of PD, as the Kaplans — like my own family — have a solid Jewish foundation. I’ve been hearing from readers that it’s nice to see this diversity in the funny pages. Much appreciated!
As my husband and I have many non-Jewish friends (and relatives), I also try to approach these holidays from the perspective of those who are not familiar with them. Most of the narrative boxes contain a short explanation of the holiday or something to that effect. And – like many themes – I try to address these holidays from a parent’s perspective.
Examples below are from December ’06 and recently from Yom Kippur, Sept ’07:
This topic doesn’t refer to any particular strip, but is just a general thanks to all those who have emailed me or posted comments to this blog. If you’ve read my bio, you already know my time is pretty limited. I find (as many of you do) that as my kids grow older and become more involved with outside activities and homework projects, time becomes even more precious. So I want folks to know that I read and value each and every comment even if I don’t get a chance to respond. So THANKS! I really appreciate all your support!
