Hi, guys. What the...? Why are you wearing eye black? After I pulled off so many eyelashes, I noticed that the sun started to hurt my eyes. Does something count as a cry for help when it's so unbelievably stupid?

Well, one of the truisms of cartooning is that there aren’t really any new ideas. Just about every joke you could ever think of has been told already, so the challenge is finding fresh ways to tell the same jokes. It’s a fun challenge each year to find a new angle on School Picture Day or Christmas or whatever the case may be. So that’s one part of my motivation. The other part, as OldestandWisest said, is keeping my family fed and keeping a roof over our heads. And paying my kids’ college tuition bills.

You should know that’s not a cry for help. Even Teddy, the Non-Brainiac dude knows that.
