Where is Ash's Dad?

Stumbled on this short series of Pokemon webcomic strips.



I find it particularly interesting that somebody, somewhere managed to take notice of the fact that a TV character is actually missing a parent. Too many people take the "single TV parent" model for granted. Also gratifying is the exploration of what that character feels about the lack of the other parent, something that is rarely ever shown in shows.

Plus, the strip is pretty well-written too.
