Starting today, you'll find a new, exclusive cartoon each Friday on DotMoms. The cartoons about life as a parent are created by a very talented mom blogger, who writes and illustrates The Reign of Ellen. Meet Ellen, in her own words:
I am a 30-year-old mom to Anna, born in February of 2005. Before my daughter was even a twinkle in my eye, I dreamed of becoming a stay-at-home mom. I had all the usual maternal reasons (you know, wanting to make homemade Play-doh and wipe boogie noses), but I also thought it would free me up to cartoon in all my "spare" time. Ha. I'm discovering that there isn't any spare time, but sometimes I manage to squeak out a cartoon after she's asleep.
I have a fabulous husband, who encourages me greatly. I love making people laugh, or at least raise their eyebrows a bit. I also love to help others work through issues that I struggled with, namely depression, infertility and breastfeeding. I hope you enjoy my work.
E-mail Ellen and let her know you enjoy her work. And check back next Friday for a new DotComic.
Love the cartoons - this is a fabulous addition to the site. Congrats on your craft, Ellen!

I can see where the humor is supposed to come from in this particular cartoon, but I find it disconcerting that "spanking" is the punishment. To each his own.

I'm so excited to see you as an addition to DotMoms. I'm always so proud of our writers and contributors but to be proud and almost wetting my pants with laughter...that's a gift :)
Welcome Aboard
