Cardboard Colin’s Family Tree
Now let me tell you a couple of things about this family tree: I haven’t put all of Colin’s nieces and nephews in there, because there’s an endless supply of them. That’s also why they don’t have names. Colin’s grandparents have not appeared before. They might come back. I don’t think Ted Wood will come back though because to make him I had to cut up some wood with a saw, and sawdust went all over my dress and into my cup of tea. I drank the tea anyway; waste not want not.

Janet doesn’t have a husband? How does she keep having so many kids then??
Perhaps they’re adopted? Or maybe Janet’s not actually married and each child has a different daddy? Ooooo, scandalous.
i don’t think they are janet’s daughters. it’s just janet with different clothes design.
duuuh she has lods of kids, idit.
That’s beyond adorable…
But god Janet is a slut XD
My same thoughts exactly XP
oh wow i was looking up my family tree today as well! coincidence! very nice =3
I HAVE A THEORY.
Maybe Janet reproduces asexually.
I’ll be sad if we never see Ted Wood again. He looks like a real solid guy; a square shooter who’ll always give you the unvarnished truth. I also like his expression of gentle patience, like he’s always ready to listen (even though, let’s face it, he’s a little board).
I agree, man.
Harold always has the best comments.
janet = octomom?
jk. we all know she’s adopting these for their own good!! ^^
so theres been comics with colin’s mum and separetly with his dad….. when i read a comic with his mum i forget carl… when i read a comic with carl i forget his mum…….. noticeable? i was expecting pauline and polar bear (not to mention spoon!) in this comic for some strange reason…..
*hey why does janet have so many babies? in fact who is her husband?*
Spoon: *guilty*….
BAHAHA
That Purple and white polka dot kid of Janet’s is a Colin in training, look at that pose XD
Ahaha, I just noticed, he is so darn cute & spirited just like his uncle!
But how did a woman like Trish end up with a man like Carl??
I’d LOVE to see how Colin’s parents first met!
Me 2!
I have just been looking through all the guest comics for the guest comic week. They were all so good! It’s great to see so many cardboard colin fans out there giving it some cardboard colin love.
Aaaanyway, I am looking forward to the next 300 strips to keep me entertained! Also, I love how the grandparents in the family trees genes have mixed together to form Collins parents and aunt, like paper + wood = cardboard, sponge + gingham = j cloth!!
Oh – a J-cloth! I was a bit puzzled by the genes.
Colin’s Mom is really fashionable, I like her glasses and her… print?
haha that’s great
thanks for the family history lesson, it’s good to know who comes from who
although, someone should tell janet that it’s a uterus not a clown car
hmmmm… how come we don’t see the father(s) of janet’s children?
Are Colin’s mum and dad divorced? I mean, they don’t live together. Do they?
I’m so curious! who’s the father to Janet’s babies?!
Adorable!!
Who is Janets husband? I wanna kno. He must be colorful. XD
I think Janet just multiplies and spawns little ones of her. Aww, their cute.
oh i know! they r photocopied!
Janet is not a slut, she is just very fertile. Or maybe she had them all at once in a large litter.
WOAH JANET! HOLD YOUR BARRELS!
I feel sorry for Colin for having taken care of SOOOO many children!!! xD
Janet can SURE make loads of babies but the serious question is is, “HOW?????” Maybe she can just reproduce like that? Maybe she is a hooker!!!!!! OoO Or maybe they are adopted!
I’m confuzzled about this!!!
Also to top up the comment about Janet’s babies. Look at the strip about the 300th party (first part)! I think she over-exaggerated on having the babies. She has so many and read the comment of that strip!!! xD
My dads a chainsaw carver, if you need any wood i could totally supply you with some!
This is awesome! I think it deserves it’s own page. Just in case we need to refer to it in the future.
so Trish and Carl both got name changes?? (cause they don’t have the same last names as their parents.
And to add to everyone elses comments: GEEZ JANET!! XD
Aww I love Nana Crumples!
Also, have you considered using balsa wood for Ted? Might be easier to cut.
LOVE this family tree!

I guess Janet and her kids took up too much space, there was no space for her husband
What about making Pauline’s family tree?
Right on! I’d LOVE to see Pauline’s family tree!
As for Janet…well, she’s quite a Fertile Myrtle isn’t she? Hahaha!
Nana Crumples is adorable! Her and Ted Wood make such a cute couple
Although they both look surprisingly wimpish to produce a son like Carl O_o lol.
This is brilliant, thanks for showing us the family tree!
The first kid on the bottom from left to right seems to be staring at something.. Suspiciouuuuus…
um i just noticed something…
when reading a random comic (http://mycardboardlife.com/2009/01/28/hourly-comics-day/), i noticed that colin’s mum and sis are different from what is show on the family tree!
they changed clothes?
haha, got some crazy naming goin on:
crumple+wood= …im assuming its cardboard cause thats also in colins name
gingham+sponge= cloth and sponge
cloth+cardboard= cardboard and no last name
and Tim took his mothers name
… just sayin
Shouldnt Janet be fat???? :p
I think Janet’s children’s father must be a) square and b) paper.
All her children are square, which, with so many children, would suggest both parents had the square gene.
The are also all paper, which is a little odd considering she is not. However, she must have some paper genes from Granny crumples, which may explain it.
I’ve not given this too much thought at all…
