leftists subject
Leftists always want to... circle around subjects... rather than addressing any subject directly.
If you haven't signed anything, you cant be ripped off.
I'm comfortable having a specific audience to write to. I like the idea that my audience doesn't see what I do as controversial.

comic fill pure stamina whether
It was pure guesswork on my part back in 1979 as to whether I would have the stamina to write, pencil, ink, letter, tone, and fill the back of a monthly comic book for 26 years.
leftists relive trying
North American leftists just keep trying to relive the '60s, or to make the '60s happen again.
work
'Cerebus' is my attempt at a literary work.
believe central defending feminists force history longer pillars recognize
Feminists are in an untenable position, defending something they no longer believe in, and which history will force them to recognize was destructive of most of the central pillars of civilization. I'm just the first one to point it out publicly.
reality ideas darkness
These are ideas. I could say that they just came to me, but it would be more accurate to say that I went to them. Ideas - and new connections between ideas - lead you away from commonly held perceptions of reality. Ideas lead you out here. Ideas lead you into the darkness.
life odds flames
You can walk as carefully as you want through a mine field; it is still a mine field. But it's also true that if you step up to the plate worrying that you're going to strike out, the odds are that you're going to strike out. Not doing a large ambitious work because you're convinced that Danger Lurks Around Every Corner, the old 'I might be dead this time next year,' is a waste of the Inner Radiance that found you. It's like life insurance. It's betting against yourself. It's blowing out your own flame before someone beats you to it.
beauty reality hands
Gone is the blinding glow in his hands - gone, too, is the illusion of purity and beauty! In it's place all that remains is mind-numbing, spine-chilling reality!
baby time memories
For the first time in your conscious memory; for the first time in fact, since your were a baby; a single tear, full and warm, rolled down your right cheek and you fell into a very deep and entirely dreamless slumber.
mistake consciousness hallmark
There is nothing wrong with making mistakes, but one should always make new ones. Repeating mistakes is a hallmark of dim consciousness.
falling-in-love smoking looks
Falling in love makes smoking pot all day look like the ultimate in restraint.
