...serious people, and I sense that they'd like me to stifle my inner class clown. But that's hard when we're watching instructional videos in which one bad actor plays a screaming fry cook who has been burned and another plays a man who carries a bunch of heavy stuff but refuses his co-worker's help. "That's OK, I've got it," he says - right before tripping down a hill. (That's when we learned how to construct a sling...
...white Australians think of this minority as a bunch of thievish, ignorant welfare bludgers who are played upon by a handful of black demagogues. They oppose the idea of a national apology for past treatment of the Aborigines - a deserved and, in liberal opinion, an essential gesture of goodwill - by saying all this happened in their grandfathers' time, and the living bear no responsibilities for it.

...Back in 1990 or so I was doing a bunch of [comic] strips with a mouse character, which were silent strips - no words at all, and I was getting pretty tired of it.

And I don't know if that's just the result of me having the benefit of hindsight and sort of editing things out, or if it really is there. But it seems [there is] this arrogant sexuality to the modern world that I find very annoying, and, I guess, threatening...
...rainstorm. The industry has gone two decades without a new technology to replace the CD (which replaced the cassette, which replaced the LP, which replaced the 78--each successive format presenting an opportunity to sell the public something it already owned), and now it's under threat from a bunch of 22-year-old hackers. These days, if the companies are going to make an opportunistic buck, they've got to reach a little further than they did in the past...
