reasons to feel slightly better about things

I can't believe I've never linked to Subnormality before (the cartoonist, Winston Rowntree, also has some excellent stuff at Cracked.Com; I especially like the Eight Things You Can Do With A Cover Song).

To make up for it, go look at this romantic (in the original sense) but not too sappy Seven Reasons to Maybe Feel Slightly Better About Things. When you see the size of the image, you'll see why I didn't try to squish it in here.

To make up for not including an image of the comic, here's his Sphinx. She thousands of years old and eats people, but she's got a twenty-something friend... oh, just go read some of the old comics. (And "read" is the operative word; Rowntree includes WAY more text than image in some panels.)
