Betty White gets her own cartoon
Over her 70-year career, Betty White has seemingly done it all. But the former ‘Golden Girls’ actress has starred in her own comic book until now. The veteran actress can now add this to her list of achievements as she stars in a comic book about her own life.
Called ‘Female Force: Betty White’, the 32-page book is written by Patrick McCray and it traces Betty’s amazing career from her days on the radio through to her latest stint in new sitcom ‘Hot in Cleveland’.
“Working on the Betty book was an honor and a blast,” says Patrick. “While covering a new entertainer is always fun, there is something special about profiling an icon. Not only did it allow me to savor nostalgia, it also let me catch up on areas of pop culture that had passed me by.”

Over the Teacups
My four-year-old grandson was at the supermarket with his mother when he exclaimed, “You’re buying something, Mummy, auntie is buying something – I want to buy something!” Mum replied, “You have to be big, have a wife, have a job, then you can buy things.” He replied, “I have a wife – Maia,” meaning his four-year-old friend. Mum said, “What about a job?” Master Four replied, “My job is having a wife!”

Water you want?
I was in the car and asking Master Three what he wanted for Christmas. He said he was going to ask Santa for a water pistol. “And Nanny,” he added, “I’m going to ask for some water for our paddling pool.” Now that could be interesting!

Bee gone
Master Three had his first bee sting recently. The incident broke his heart, but after many cuddles he came right. Later he said, “I never want to see another bee again. I don’t like bees any more, I only like flies.”

Fraud with worry
My daughter warned me that “old people are being taken for a ride,” and that I shouldn’t engage in conversation with phone sales people. To this, Master Five piped up, “Nana can’t go on that ride, she’s old.”
