Sun., June 21 is Father's Day, and the Thousand Oaks Acorn is inviting you to take out pen, pencil or crayon and draw a picture of dear old Dad.

Using the template in the ad on page 20, draw a picture of what your father looks like and send it to the Thousand Oaks Acorn, 30423 Canwood St. Ste. 108, Agoura Hills, CA 91301. You can also scan your drawing and send it to todads@theacorn.com.

Dad, don't take it personally. If you've got really big ears, it just means you're a good listener. If your hair isn't quite right, maybe it's because it isn't there anymore.

It's the thought that counts.

Dads are special. Show him you care by taking part in this year's "Let's Draw Dad" tribute as explained on page 20.

The deadline is Wed., June 10. Submissions will be published on a first come basis.

All drawings will appear online at www.toacorn.com.
