the comic that ain't funny

[renee97]

One of the first things I do in the morning, after breakfast, is to read the comics from the safety of my computer. "Safety" is the key word.
Is anyone familiar with, or do you see the comic "Cornered" by Mike Baldwin? If you can't find it in your local paper I can give you at least one, maybe two other places you can find it......if you want to read a comic that I don't find funny at all.
It hits me in all the wrong places. And I will leave it right there. See for yourself.

You will find something rewarding. Take it as motivation. :twocents:

Yes, but will it be as (mentally and emotionally) rewarding as sitting here composing music and writing fiction? Probably not, but it will pay the bills.

There is something that is funny about this comic though. I have been "looking for work" since I moved to Minnesota in 1999! And five years ago (actually late 2002) I had what I was told was a very good lead on a job at the University of Minnesota. Only one problem: it was a very bad lead because I did not know I would be working ---at a campus Starbuck's. I don't even like the smell of coffee and I don't drink it and never have!!! The job lasted all of about five weeks. So five years later, epilepsy, and all that and "Where did you think you would be in five years? Still looking for work?"
I CAN laugh at myself.
