“A father is a man who expects his son to be as good a man as he meant to be”
“A father is a man who expects his son to be as good a man as he meant to be” is a saying that has been printed on many images. “A father is a man who expects his son to be as good a man as he meant to be” was printed in “Country Parson,” a one-panel comic strip by Frank A. Clark (1911-1991), in many newspapers on February 7, 1973.
