How to be a Sensitive Poet


by Matt Groening


My favorite line, "...just remember, in the cosmic sense, everyone's a sensitive poet..."  (by the way, when I first read that, I thought it said, "comic sense.")

    Oh my, this is spot-on. What a hoot.

    I'm still working on 'facing utter indifference.'

    Love this. . .

    I don't seem to have cultivated sneering hatred yet but they are darn hard to make friends with.

    Yes, I also like Do you enjoy "poverty?" The quotes reallly add something to that question. ;-)

    We should all print this out and tape it over our desks! Matt Groening really nailed it!

    I had a copy of this taped to my wall for years till it fell apart. Love the part about facing "the utter indifference."

    Ah, Matt Groening. (Notice how the face of the character in the upper middle panel has a startling resemblance to Marge Simpson?)
