The simple solution

One final Avery strip before I get on to other things.

I drew this strip, if memory serves, on a train traveling between Chicago and Seattle. Avery's is a vice to which a whole lot of people are prone, if the state of our national discourse is any indication.

Earlier in the week, when I was pointing out Avery's flaws, a lot of his fans (!) wrote to me pointing out that, despite it all, he shows signs of being redeemable. And I absolutely agree. It's just that he needs life to deal him a good thwack on the head with a newspaper sometimes. Or Millie, in this case.
