Medical decisions have been politicized. What doctor wants a state legislator in his consulting room?

There is nothing worse than annotated humour.

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.

Well, it's a humor strip, so my first responsibility has always been to entertain the reader... But if, in addition, I can help move readers to thought and judgment about issues that concern me, so much the better.

I try not to second-guess editors; they're the clients, and I have no expectation that my strip is going to make it into every paper every day.

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