Bill Watterson
I'm learning real skills that I can apply throughout the rest of my life...procrastinating and rationalizing.
Bill Watterson
Even when you look for it, you're never prepared for it.
Bill Watterson
As far as I'm concerned, if something is so complicated that you can't explain it in 10 seconds, then it's probably not worth knowing anyway.
Bill Watterson
