A happy map that makes me sad.

Why?
For me, too many people seem to be happy about things of no consequence at all.

Ate pizza? Made plans to go to a casino? Cut your hair? Come on.

Sometimes it's fine to be content with trivial things. Sometimes that's all you've got. It isn't wrong to be grateful and happy when small things happen for you. A lot of us should practice appreciating it more, in my opinion.

And frankly, the bigger things, the more substantial things; those are fewer and farther between. They're harder to populate a map like this with. They're certainly preferably in some ways, but realistically, it's not the primary stuff of surveys like this.

Haha, speaking of simple pleasures. One of my favourite experiences to have these days is reading these with my son.

Some of my top strips are the ones where Calvin and Susie Derkins are grown up and Calvin is having successive crises about everything she says or does.

I brought a surprise!

Let's hope it's a divorce...

Those also being wonderful parodies of soap opera comics like Rex Morgan is great, especially for Comics Curmudgeon enjoyers: https://joshreads.com
