My late hubby, in the car biz, would've related to the first part - all the responsibility without the power to change anything or say no. And the dilemma now for creative folks like you, makes me even sadder. It's not fair! But on the bright side (?), your hotdog always makes me hungry for one! Keep on keepin' on! (please...)
Three cheers for community, connecting, and one for Morris. And what about this: connecting beyond your “family”? Connecting with people who might not realize they need a cartoonist? Brainstorm with me - where should you not go?
I’ve met a lot of people these last few years who are amazed where are still human artists creating cartoons every day as their job. They’ve become great collaborators
The opening line really made me laugh. But wow, then it got dark. Pass me the whiskey bottle please 😂 I hard agree about connection and people. I retreated last year due to my spectacular burnout and coming back has been hard but I notice there is a deep desire to connect with people. That’s it. Not get more work although I need that obviously, and not awards. What used to motivate pre burn out doesn’t anymore. I just want to feel I have a tribe, that I’m connected to people. Interesting that I’m not alone in that thinking.
Does Morris dislike Post-deconstruction-Pointilism?
Obviously.

Indeed! I think community is going to be the big word for 2026... who knew?
Morris’ motto: “Keep Looking up”
Fancy that. Nobody trusts the robot. We still need people. And I thought we were all going to the dogs!
