Comic Wisdom

Seven inches of snow (so far) and classes are cancelled. It's a perfect day for a fire and once we have shovelled the neighbours out, I get some old newspaper to get the fire going again. Yesterday I got some dead wood from the cemetery so everything was set. As I was reading the comics on the paper I was burning, I noticed a couple of comics. Hagar the Horrible seems too much like the Epicureans with his definition of the meaning of life: "Life is fighting, raiding, drinking beer, partying, and playing games." Garfield seems closer to the mark with his reflection, "There is so much in the world I don't know about. but I do know where the food is, so ... who cares?" Eccl 5:18 (heb 17).
