I gotta go. Hey ... Wait!

Comic/Cartoon: Sherman's Lagoon
Viewable Date: 2013-06-02 Pub. Date: 2013-06-02
Image Number: 97190
Caption: I see you're wearing your rose-colored glasses again. They make me happy. You should get a pair. No thanks. I prefer to see the world in all its untinted reality. No false sense of hope induced by corrective lenses. Nope. Not for me. The real world is a cruel and unfair place where the bad guys win. Your rose-tinted world is an illusion. You deny reality, and in return you get happiness. Besides, if I were happy, I couldn't do what I do. What DO you do? Besides make others unhappy? That's what I do.

Image Number: 93920
Caption: What is my best screwdriver being blunted on today. A pool toaster. I thought it would be great if people could make toast while relaxing in the pool. Do the words "class action lawsuit" mean anything to you? The glass is always half empty in your world, isn't it?

Image Number: 91525
Caption: Happy New Year, mom and dad. FYI … I will not be striving for personal improvement through the declaration of unrealistic resolutions. I figure I'm going to make mistakes and screw up soon enough, so I'm just saving us all from the disappointment now. Being a visionary has its advantages.
