When the cartoonist is trying to talk honestly and seriously about life, then I believe he has a responsibility to think beyond satisfying the market's every whim and desire.

I find my life is a lot easier the lower I keep everyone's expectations.

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

Why does man create? Is it man's purpose on earth to express himself, to bring form to thought, and to discover meaning in experience? Or is it just something to do when he's bored?

If your knees aren't green by the end of the day, you ought to seriously re-examine your life.
