A Day-Glo orange splatter of paint. A geyser of green slime. A seductive forearm tattoo named Petunia.

It was never all that easy to predict the future, but it always felt like there were at least a few things you could rely on.

Most new-dads-to-be do the obligatory preparation: You look through the couple of "survival guide" style books gifted to you by a friend. Watch YouTube videos on swaddling techniques.

Raise your hand if you’re sort of done with the buzz phrase work/life balance? Same.

The concept of masculinity is straight-up intimidating to even begin to comprehend. There’s no real cut-and-dry definition.

Luckily for us, comedian Michael Ian Black has spent countless hours…
