Today I drew loneliness and self-delusion. It was a fascinating story arc that I could throw threw 4 to 6 issues and feel like I'd really expressed something. My art is funny that way. I do one of the extremes: humor or dark, but they both express so much. There's uncertainty and risk in all of our behaviors, but the glory comes in the leap.

For me this means pushing for a dream to come true, something I promised myself a looong time ago.

"It's about love overcoming aaaaall obstacles." -Moulin Rouge

I'm happy again...

Recent turns have reminded me of so much love in the world: friends and family working hard to keep a tiny bubble in their existence alive, afloat. We know that we are not alone in these turbulent times. After so much misery...

Hope.

Lessons of the past

During these economic times I feel it important to review the resolution of the Great Depression: The New Deal.

What was implemented by the government? Among other things, public works. This provides us with the primary lesson of The Great Depression:

"Helping others helps ourselves."

That quote is mine, by the way. A chicken in every pot will only happen when we determine that, as Americans, we need to stick with each other. This is also the most effective way for us to help the rest of the world.

Love,
David.
