An Eerily Prescient Look At The Future
Thursday, March 31st, 2005From an e-mail to a friend this morning:
Even if I’d never done anything other than Man-Man, I’d still have well over 1000 comic strips that I’ve written that I could conceivably print out and show to my kids some day. Assuming I have kids. If I don’t have kids, I’ll find other kids to show them too. You know, those kids that just seem to hang out in the parking lot behind the convenience store. I could show them. I’d have this 4′ pile of paper in a grocery cart with a busted wheel, with all the strips printed out, and I could angrily wave fistfuls of sheets at them while telling them to do something productive with their time. They’d back away with a look of mingled shock and scorn, and then make fun of me as I leave. Damn kids.
It’s terrifyingly easy to envision.
