Dave, also known as “Sandwich Bag Dad,” has been creating daily dad joke cartoons and puns on his children’s lunch bags for over 11 years. This tradition started when his eldest daughter began school and has since grown into a collection of thousands of sandwich bag drawings. It has gained a global social media following, a coffee table book, and two art gallery exhibitions.

In 2023, Dave maintained his daily tradition of creating three distinct cartoons for his three daughters. These authentic lunch bags, occasionally wrinkled and worn from a day at school, are frequently reused, with some exhibited in classrooms. Dave’s creative process involves customizing each bag to suit his children’s hobbies and current occurrences, with the goal of revealing a fatherly jest in any circumstance.

Despite the daily challenge of creating three new bags, Dave has never missed a day in 11 years, except when his children are sick or choose to buy lunch at school. He often utilizes weekends and holidays to build a surplus of bags, maintaining this cherished tradition with unwavering dedication and pleasure.
