Jim Henson was a big influence on me. :)

it was fun playing with the shadows for this one. Thinking of the cut down tree was not only symbolic, but it created a nice shape to work with.
I’ve always been amazed when I see healthy happy relationships. Striking how few, but that’s perhaps because I befriend misfits.
Too often I think I’ve asked questions to fill the air with sound to avoid thinking about the question itself. And too often, like Bruno here, have looked towards people who seem to have their shit together.
But often they’re no better off, they’re just enjoying what they have. And often they don’t have the answers, they just have strong opinions.
I think it’s a significant realization that belief in yourself is different than belief in a deity (and that was partly my point with this strip). In the self it’s more meant as “confidence,” whereas in a deity it is in blind acceptance.
And I have a similar double-feeling about many celebrities who’s work I like, that I’m not sure I’d get along with them in person. As a creative person, I know how deceptive art can be to an artist’s nature.
That feeling of dreading days which started out cheery is true of me in the past. Not so much any more.
And yeah, peanuts is one of my favorite comics, but sometime int he 80s it seemed to become a bit too parodying of itself.
I love (some) novels which have nothing to say, but are more an examination of the human condition or a snapshot of a moment in someone’s life. but they can also be dreadful.
