The Scary Thing About The Future... There

I Draw A Weekly Comic Strip Called Life In Hell, Which Is Syndicated In About 250 Newspapers. That's What I Did Before The Simpsons, And What I Plan To Do For The Rest Of My Life.

'the Simpsons' Was About Children And Married Parents; 'futurama' Is About People In Between; They're Growing Up And Haven't Settled Down. Every Other Cartoon Show Seemed To Be, You Know, Dumb Dad, Bratty Kids.

Humor Does Depend On Surprise, And The Things That People Remember As The Funniest Things In The World, You Look At Later And You Go, "what? What Was That All About?"

Nihilism In American Comedy Came Along Way Before 'the Simpsons.' There Was A Fairly Nihilistic Point Of View To 'saturday Night Live,' For Instance, Back In The Beginning, And A Lot Of Really Dark Comedy Had A Really Anti-sentimental Take On Life.
