Calvin: The more you know, the harder it is to take decisive action. Once you are informed, you start seeing complexities and shades of gray. You realize nothing is as clear as it first appears.

I've never sat down to quantify how many hours I actually spend on the strip. I use the deadlines to estimate my progress each month I know that I have to produce so many strips, and by the end of the month I'll make sure that I have.
