Childhood too, generally. The truth is there aren't a lot of tidy endings, and there aren't a lot of important transformative events. Things happen and then sort of peter out, and nobody really learns much.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table> <!--QuoteEEnd--><br><br>That is so very true.<br>

[Ibon]

Actually, I disagree.<br><br>Throughout my life, there have been many important events that have taught me much about both myself and the world around me. They've all shaped my personality and outlook on life immensely, though when it all happend, at the time, it may have seemed small.<br><br>In other words, my thought was always that it isn't that life doesn't teach you anything, it's that people tend to fall asleep in class too often.

[simon]

It's too easy to fall asleep in class.

[Ibon]

It is indeed.<br><br>I always paid attention if I could. It's a shame that schooling is so pathetically boring now, but it does lead handily into the study of life.<br><br>Ah, bills. Truly is the man great who can find wisdom in the constant loss of money.

[Burning Sheep Productions]

Happens all the time!<br>You plan to do something but when you get round to it you've lost all your inspiration and motivation.

[Doctor Fred]

Hey, there's only about one or two more strips in this story arc. Mabye DCS will start posting new ones after this. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

[Henohenomoheji]

yay.

[Muninn]

"I have always have to postpone something i want to do for something i have to do."<br>"Welcome to life."<br><br>Or something along those lines anyway.

[Doctor Fred]

Thursday. I read David's live journal and he said new strips would start Thursday.

[Muninn]

Just when we're not here to rant on about them, brilliant.

[Elscire]

Well maybe the chat will be buzzing then. Or perhaps not, but hey.

[Dr. Dos]

Oh it will be. It's picked up greatly the past week. In fact about 2 or 3 weeks ago I'd occasionally connect, and the only person there would be the bot Ozy. Now there's usually at least 5 people.

[Elscire]

That may be becuase me and hobo have taken to remaining constantly connected.<br>I remember idling there for many hours on end on my own, but it had a purpose.<br><br>If people go there, and there is nobody there, then obvously they will leave, so by idling there you at least give people some incentive. That's the idea anyway.<br>But for whatever reason, yes, it's picked up <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

<b>Arrrr matey.</b> Simpson's power over us is staggering, as he gets to tell us what we've been wanting to hear for a long time, and yet, I am concerned that we might be pressuring him too hard and turning what he does for fun into work. Who really wants that? Not I, since the moment the making of this strip becomes a routine effort without the heart to do it for the sake of doing it, it will become as sterile and as useless as anything you can read in the daily paper. Think about the artists that have to come up with something new every day of their lives until they either die or are simply unable to draw anymore.
