I’ve seen far too many divorces caused by the strain of trying to operate a Mom & Pop business. The major problem with a husband and wife working together in their own business is that the daily problems follow them home. They don’t get a break from the job or from each other.
I agree wholeheartedly! Like you, I’ve been a Doonesbury fan and follower from the get-go and have aged along with the characters.
It doesn’t seem possible that Doonesbury will be 54 years old on Oct. 26th this year … but then, it doesn’t seem possible that I’m going to be 80 on Oct. 23rd!
Don Martin epitomized MAD magazine! He was a gifted cartoonist and a truly talented artist, who inspired and encouraged many others. One of my favorites!
I still do that. But rarely do I or my alter-egos feature in my fantasies.
The supporting cast is far more interesting to me than my protagonist. Those characters live a lot longer in my crazed imagination before they ever become part of a page of prose.
