There was once a time on "Family Guy" when Lois was the only one who understood Meg's needs, and was willing to talk to her as a human being and show her the respect and consideration she never got from her father or her classmates (or even strangers on the street, for that matter). Nowadays, that no longer seems to be the case - Lois can't even bring herself to actually say "I love you" to her own daughter. That's a shame, really, 'cause I liked it better when the two of them were on the same team. So I drew this as a nice little scene of how it used to be.

I know the Meg bashers are of the belief that she deserves what she gets for being so stuck-up, but she hasn't exhibited that behavior in a while. It's gotten to the point where all she really wants is acceptance, and when the rest of the cast refuses to give it to her, it becomes less about humor and more about cruelty just for the sake of being cruel.
