For some, Father’s Day can be tough, especially if you don’t have a parent around to share in the celebrations. Maybe you don’t talk anymore or maybe he’s passed on.
It may feel like everyone seems to have a Dad in place to give their gifts and send their Father’s day ecards to and you’re left with a feeling of longing and sadness.
Here are few pointers for the people who may be without a father this holiday:
We understand holidays can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. And we hope you can celebrate your father in the best way possible this year, whatever that means to you.

Here is one of our eCards for Sons who are Fathers themselves.
Yes, yes, we know: your dad is clearly the best dad ever. But who’s your favorite fictional daddy?
You know the one: he says just the right thing at just the right time. He’s stern but loving, kind yet wise. He makes you laugh after you’ve scuffed your knee and buys you ice cream just when you need it (even if you’re 42). He also hugs very well and lends you copious amounts of money with no strings attached.
Here’s our list of fictional dads definitely worth sending a Father’s Day e-card.
Who would you like to add to the list?
Well, back to reality. Father’s Day is just around the corner and one way to make your real dad’s day special is sending him a free animated Father’s Day e-card. We have a wide array of funny Father’s Day e-cards to choose from, so take a look around and pick one that suits your dad just right.

Here at the Doozy headquarters, we are polishing your Father’s Day ecards vigorously for this Sunday. We are aware that some people still use that antiquated technology to reach their fathers on the big day: the telephone. Then we heard something about telephones and Father’s Day that we thought just had to be an urban myth of some sort…but alas, it’s true:
More collect phone calls are made on Father’s Day than on any other day of the year.
Oh poor Dad…why?
According to Snopes:
Dr. Brenda Wall, a family psychologist in Dallas, Texas, postulates, “We have a different sociological response to our parents that is gender and role-related. We’ve always looked to mom for love and nurturing. But when we look to dad, it’s usually a business transaction or something that relates to power, positioning, or money.”
We tried to think of a few possible collect call scenarios:
“This is a collect call from John Smith to John Smith, Sr. Will you accept the charges?”
“Yes.”
“Dad. Hi. Just wanted to wish you a Happy Father’s Day. I was going to buy you a nice gift, I swear. But the strangest thing happened. I saw this nun crying by the side of the road. I pulled over to see if I could help. Apparently her convent had burned down last night and she had nowhere to live! What was I to do? I put her up in a hotel (along with her kitten, St. Fuzzy) and now I’m flat broke until my next paycheck. Anyway, Happy Father’s Day, Dad.”
Or maybe:
“This is a collect call from John Smith to John Smith, Sr. Will you accept the charges?”
“Yes.”
“Dad. Hi. Just wanted to wish you a Happy Father’s Day. I was going to buy you a nice gift, I swear. But the strangest thing happened. My money disappeared. I mean, right before my very eyes. I went to this magic show and the magician asked me for my wallet. He did this abracadabra thing and boom! My wallet was gone. Conveniently he did his disappearing act right after that. Obviously a shyster of some sort. Anyway, Happy Father’s Day, Dad.”
We’d suggest that instead of having dad foot the bill this Father’s Day, you send free Father’s Day e-cards. We have a wide array of funny Father’s Day ecards at your disposal. No awkward excuses necessary.
(St. Fuzzy…really?)

I don’t know about you, but the dads at Doozy are BIG on barbeque. They have very specific rules on how to barbeque and will generally not let you touch the grill, unless you’ve had years of hands-on training. Of course, the end result is deliciousness, so we dutifully let them rule the grill like a backyard king.
So our latest Father’s Day e-card is in dedication to all of the barbequing dads out there. It was designed by our animator Tom (who has worked with Adam Sandler on several
Country Singing Steak, watch him before he grills!
animation projects). The song lyrics were composed by Mukti Garceau (our resident lyricist and poet) and the script was written by myself (creative director, Bennett Schneider).
Here are some quick barbeque tips, relayed to you by some of our dads:
So there you go: tips for a great barbeque and a country singing steak in one of our newest Father’s Day ecards. What more could a dad ask for? (Well, if you’re dad’s a vegetarian, take a look at our other funny Father’s Day e-cards!)
P.S. What band do the wieners pay homage to in our Country Singing Steak e-card?
