I did notice right away and said that it's removal took ten years off his face. He looked almost boyish.

If only there was something I could shave off and get the same results.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can finally get off this planet!, August 31, 2013
By lightman

The last piece of the jigsaw puzzle (actually, saucer)---so thank you, Almighty. Thank you, Jeff Bezos. Finally! A 944WH-M Magnet is the only friggin' component I haven't been able to recreate using spare parts from the various Sno-Cats, Helicopters, and Lafayette Comsat 25-B CB radios lying around. Finally! Been stuck under your g*ddam water-ice just 40 clicks from your "Amundsen-Scott Station" (what a craphole!) for over a hundred thousand "years." Finally! I can head home and go back to assimilating my own kind, as The Great Amorphous Lord intended! And don't bother to come looking for me--by the time you're reading this, your minor planet (and even your vaunted "Pioneer 10") will be just a speck of dust in my rear-view mirror. GOODBYE, SUCKERS! I never wanted dominion over you flimsy flesh-bags anyway! Good bye MacCready, Blair, Childs, Garry (friggin' Garry), Clark (sorry about your friggin' dogs; Hey--this just in...GET A LIFE! [oops--too late!], Palmer, Norris, Fuchs, Nauls, Copper, Windows, Bennings, as well as all you friggin' Norwegians. It was nice meeting you and being you. (friggin' Norwegians).

Well, I rather see and read Bill Waterson's naive point of view than this bitter (sourly bitter) reply. And Waterson is not alone at what he said (hey, Neil Gaiman gave a similar speech in 2012 for art students).
But more important: Not Waterson nor Gaiman say money is evil, they express that there's a lot more important thing in life to it.
Can you argue with that?

Right. And the result is something that is fun (or instructive or delightful or beautiful or meaningful or whatever) and - AND - profitable.

The idea that artistic integrity and making a living are somehow at odds with each other is just that, an idea. It's a romanticized ideal of the artist as the misunderstood genius who isn't at home in the world, like Van Gogh. History is full of artists that did very well for themselves and produced great work.

In fact, I would go so far as to say that when artists compete with each other for the public's adulation and dollars art flourishes. Look to the art museums of Europe and America for proof.

It looks like Lil Bub is explaining the mysteries of life: his hands are clasped together, eyes wide, and his mouth is open in the middle of ponderings.
