In Rules for Dating My Daughter, Mike Dawson uses visual storytelling to offer original, compelling, and funny commentary on fatherhood, gun rights, the gender of toys, and staying sane in a world where school shootings and Disney princesses get equal billing. Rules is the perfect guide to today's vexing mediascape. Mike Dawson is the author of three books: Freddie & Me: A Coming-of-Age (Bohemian) Rhapsody, Troop 142, and Angie Bongiolatti. Mike is the host of TCJ Talkies and the Book Club podcast at The Comics Journal. He lives in Fair Haven, New Jersey, with his wife and two children.
