Thank you for creating such a beautiful and poignant sentiment.
As a working "artist" myself, I have no illusions of a grand time when I can "retire" from a job. Most likely, I will be found face-down on a computer keyboard. However, your strip and this time we live in reminded me of my other "retirement" period - the 8 months I received chemo treatment for cancer.
Sure, there was the hair loss and the constant nausea and crushing fatigue, but on the "off-weeks" I also was able to have romantic lunches with my wife, spend time with my kids, go to the movies in the afternoon and enjoy being alive.
There is always a silver lining to the sh*ttiest of circumstances and reminders like this are much appreciated. Thanks.
