When Communist U.S.S.R. was a superpower the world was better off. The right-wing media is trying to marginalize the peace movement.

I don't think there's any independent cartoonist whose stuff I don't like or respect in at least some way or another. We're all marginal laborers - we're practically medical oddities - so I don't see why we can't all be nice to each other.

If you don't mind haunting the margins I think there is more freedom there.

Latin food suffers like Chinese. You can do marginal Chinese and be successful. You can do crappy Mexican and be packed.
