The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for June 04, 2021

You’re welcome. Just keep them coming.

OMG, Time to re-evaluate everything! lol

It’s worth it.

Is there an alternate reality where I made all of the same choices, my life is exactly the same, but the comic is funnier?

Sorry Lennie, thats the first thing that popped into my head

Maybe in that other reality, I’m funnier too

Yup, that about sums it up

I’m reminded of that old response to how if you’d made different choices, you would be someone else – “yeah, that’s the point. Why would I want to be like this?”

You’re welcome! And yeah, life is pretty damn good when your mornings include The Big Picture! (and not having to go to work).

There are worse places to end up.

I’m reading this to set up the reading of my other comics.

And all I had to do was wait 21 or so years after you first published it.

… we also need to remember that not only this very moment is the result of all our own ‘decisions’, but also all the decisions of those who interacted with us.

So then what do we do for an encore?

I have been saying a variation of this for some time now. But ever since my wife died 12 weeks ago I have used it to explain why some people just can’t support someone like me who is very deep in grief. I know everyone handles “everything” differently based on “how” they got to this point in their life. In my life it is a point in a pointless life right now.

And thank you for living your whole life to amuse me! ☺

And I enjoyed every second of it! A life well spent.

Hi Lennie, true, very cool, and you’re welcome! Lol

Every day that I read the Big Picture I am reminded of that old proverb, “Eat a live toad the first thing everyday and the rest of the day will be so much better.”

So funny today, Lennie! TY

Could certainly be worse! And could be much better! But, sitting in my recliner, watching the news on TV, drinking my big cup of coffee and reading and laughing at The Big Picture is right where I’m happy to be. Thanks for reminding me how right I have lived my life and how lucky I am.

You are welcome, sir!
