My Cage "Classic" 06/13/2010
Added 2023-12-11 11:32:43 +0000 UTCThis was our most popular strip. We pitched it about 2 years back, and was one of my professional failures. :D (sigh) Maybe I'll tell the story one day. Anyway...
"I don’t understand how people… live. It’s amazing to me that people wake up every morning and say: ‘Yeah, another day, let’s do it.’ How do people do it? I don’t know how.”
What do you think of this quote? And to people who don't relate to it, how do you live?

When I wake up, open the blinds & see the sky, I smile; When the sun shines on my face, I close my eyes and relish the warmth; When I look in the mirror and see this guy who's getting older and wrinklier, I smile at him ("You might as well like yourself--think of all the time you're going have to spend with you" - Jerry Lewis, "The Nutty Professor," 1963); When people say they like my hat with the rabbit ears attached and I tell them, "they help me hear better," they smile and I've given them a little levity for the day; When I see the tiniest thing and pay attention to it, I feel enriched. (Did you ever hit a metal pot or bowl and listen closely to how long the sound resonates before it completelly fades away? Try it sometime) I like to say I'll never be bored because I find everything interesting; When I think about friends and family I love and love me in return, I'm happy. I could go on for quite a bit longer, but I think you get the idea; see https://silverscenesblog.blogspot.com/2016/08/7-faces-of-dr-lao-1964.html Oh, and everytime I read a "My Cage" strip, I either grin, chuckle or often LOL - nice to enjoy that every day :-)
