When my older son Matt was young and he was going out to play, I’d tell him to have fun. At some point, I added the phrase “be well” to the saying. So, when he was heading out, I’d say “be well, have fun”. I wanted him to not only have fun but also to be okay. I added the term “do good” to the phrase once younger son Gus entered the picture. The complete phrase became “do good, be well, have fun”. I wanted the boys to be good citizens and do the right thing, stay safe, and enjoy themselves. I still want that for them and for everyone. I commissioned Xavier Ali Travis to draw this cartoon and he nailed it.
