The more youâre invested in something, the more you want to see it happen. Many years ago I had a co-worker who was absolutely certain that civilization was about to collapse in the Y2K scare. He spent most of his retirement funds on freeze-dried food, a small piece of land and a trailer, and a pile of other survivalist stuff. When it didnât come about and he had to return to work, he seemed actually disappointed that the world didnât end.
âActual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the over-compensations for misery. And, of course, stability isnât nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.â âAldous Huxley, Brave New World
Todayâs comic is sort of a real downer. Kid lives in an ideal place and isnât happy being safe and secure. Join the Army and do hazardous duty. If you survive, youâll be happy then.
What Scoop Nisker, the news guy on the local freeform radio station in the early â70s used to close with was, "If you donât like the news, go out and make some of your own.

For some reason, this strip made me think of the old âCaptain Marvelâ character Tawky Tawny and the story where he wants to be famous.
