Great Advice From My Favorite Comic Strip Artist!


Hey, guys!

It's been a whirlwind of a week, but I'm excited to tell you that a silver lining is in sight - some good news is about to be unleashed! Until then, before everything's official, I'd like to share a thought I found while perusing Facebook. You guys know Calvin and Hobbs by Bill Watterson? I used to start my days reading that strip in the paper as a kid. It was a sad day when Mr. Watterson retired from that strip, but like a breath of fresh air, this nugget of joy found me, reminding me of the things in life that should be most important to me:
"To invent your own life's meaning is not easy, but it's still allowed, and I think you'll be happier for the trouble." - Bill Watterson 


Have a great weekend, everyone! See you in September.

I'm David, and it's time for that autumn leaf action!

    That's a great saying. I miss Calvin and Hobbes. And The Far Side.

    Wonderful quote! I loved Calvin & Hobbes. So much, I named my cats Calvin & Hobbes. (Even though they were both females and Calvin ended up being the sweetie while Hobbes was the evil genius.)

    Looking forward to hearing your news. I know this has been an emotional time for you -- before and after you went public with the news. I hope that it will soon all be behind you and your writing journey can continue on a better path.
