No it is like a free bus pass! You have to wait until you are too old
for it to be of any use :)

Absolutely - and I think even if you didn't know Andy, the episodes cover
things that are fairly common IRL, so it's got a good general appeal.

Agreed - I have a couple that are in my daily list that are fairly chatty
- and they're there just so I can skip them. Which I know is weird, but
growing up I'd read comics in the newspaper, and I'd skip them there as
well. If I didn't include them, it wouldn't feel right for some reason
(I tried that once).

Well, one of the reasons I ended up doing 3D was that my drawing skills were
just not good enough to make the kind of hand-drawn art I wanted to do,
lacking both the natural talent and the formal training.
The good thing about digital art is that one can always say "Poor me can't
do better because I can't afford X [sofware/hardware]" while with hand-drawn
art the only person to blame for the lack of results is oneself ;-)
(and even if you're good at it: I was once at a book signing of the French
comic book artist JC Mezieres. He was friends in art school with comic book
legend Jean Giraud/Moebius (who could draw blindfolded with both hands tied
in his back) and when asked about the experience he answered "Picture
yourself being in music school with Mozart." Sometimes one cannot win.)
