That looks like it hurts.

“The creative process?”

Is THAT what they called “Insanity” back then?

He’s trying to write a dissertation on logic in American politics.

“The creative process at work.”

Also, cave home demolition.

He’s got writer’s block.

You’d think he’s trying to create a comic strip or something.

The creative process looks to be a painful one. Glad I’m not creative.

Can’t make an omelette etc.

No wonder he’s having problems. The creative process doesn’t work unless there’s lots of cursing. Lots and lots of cursing!

This is in line with major Eastern philosophies: To create, first you must destroy! :D

Reminds me of when I used to get migraines.

My left brain is dominant. It rules most of the day. Then at 3 AM my right brain wakes up and decides it’s time to party!

Yet another frustrated “Comic Script Writer”.

I have found the best cure for writers block is elbow grease. I go work at something mindless, like pulling weeds or painting rocks(yeah I do that). Trying to weasel out of unpleasant work stimulates my mind.

I never try to work after being stoned.

still working on that spring training line up?

Too bad the Etch A Sketch hadn’t been invented yet…lol

Been there. Done that.

That’s why creativity is discouraged at so many work places

Never, ever break what you wrote. There will be one absolutely brilliant sentence worth salvaging. Just get a fresh rock and start again.

Didn’t use the right magic words, fella. “AARRGGHH” is NOT going to garner you any relief/inspiration at all.

He hasn’t even made it halfway through his goal of 100 derogatory terms for “water”…

Ironic punchline, since there’s little creativity in today’s strip.

There once was a poet named Wiley

At times he wasn’t very smiley

He’d get writer’s block

Hit his head against a rock

Because he could never get the last line to rhyme

When your imaginary friends refuse to talk to you.
