Super-dads are the heroes

of this issue. In All About Him we interview three local dads, as well as doling out tips on all things manly, from maintaining the perfect stubble density to tying a pocket square.

One of the super-dads says Bill Cosby's portrayal of Dr. Cliff Huxtable is his favorite fictional father, and it just so happens that we interviewed the stand-up comedian as he prepares for his appearance at the Orpheum Theatre later this month.

Surprise your own super-dad with a twist on a classic gift, like red-and-white loafers, or a high-tech grill. Our Gift Guide for Dad will point you in the right direction.
