I'm not a vegetarian! I'm a dessertarian!

In a comic strip, you can suggest motion and time, but it's very crude compared to what an animator can do. I have a real awe for good animation.

I always think of "Popeye" and "Barney Google" as quintessential comic strips in that old rollicky, slapstick way we've sort of lost.

Once it's too late, you appreciate what a miracle life is.

A playful mind is inquisitive, and learning is fun. If you indulge your natural curiosity and retain a sense of fun in new experience, I think you'll find it functions as a sort of shock absorber for the bumpy road ahead.

But for my own example, I'd never believe one little kid could have so much brains!

If you've got more ambiguous characters or stock stereotypes, the plastic comes through and they don't work as well.
