I've been trying for some time to develop a lifestyle that doesn't require my presence.

Once a week, I am a very desperate man.

America is one of the few places where the failure to promote oneself is widely regarded as arrogance.

The strips about the military do seem to provoke moving and thoughtful responses. It's nice when the strip resonates, but more importantly, I need to know when I'm getting something wrong. The last thing I want to do is contribute to the suffering that wounded warriors already endure.

I'm still passionately interested in what my fellow humans are up to. For me, a day spent monitoring the passing parade is a day well-spent.

I'm a pointillist, just working my tiny little piece of the canvas. I'm not so good at perspective.

Commencement speeches were invented largely in the belief that outgoing college students should never be released into the world until they have been properly sedated.
