NOTE FROM DAVE:

In honor of Mother’s Day, here’s a
selection of cards from some of our
favorites. Don’t forget to let your mom,
wherever she is, know you love her.

The Top 10 Mother’s Day Cards
From Science Fiction Characters

10> Dearest Jane, the mother of my children,
Thanks for getting me off that crazy thing.
Yours, George Jetson

9> Paul Atreides:
Here’s hoping your Mother’s Day Goes off without a hitch.
Here’s lots of hugs and kisses from your favorite son-of-a-witch.

8> Dear Mom:
Roses are red, violets are blue.
My dad is a Vulcan, and I wish you were, too.
Love, Spock

7> Dear Mom,
Do you know the word MILF? You will.
Love, Lazarus Long

6> Mothers are steel, fathers are not.
Thanks for being there. He was a bot.
Signed, Rosie the Robot

5> For the maternal parental unit I grok,
From your Vulcan offspring Spock.
This handwritten note is the only recourse possible,
Since springing five credits for a card simply isn’t logical.

4> “‘To the mother of my child:
Happy Mother’s Day from James T. Kirk!’
OK, Uhura, send out 500 of those.”

3> Dearest Mother,
Thank you for turning me into a genocidal killer. Some day I hope to do the same for you.
Your son, Ender.

2> Time travel isn’t easy, I’m tired of deception.
I have disturbing news, now, about my conception.
Lazarus Long

and the Number 1 Mother’s Day Card From a Science Fiction Character…

1> Dear Mother,
Please accept this ring as a Tolkien of my love.
Frodo.
