Someone else noted itt that Richard Gibson of Lafayette, LA submits an awful lot of things to Ripley's. Curiosity got the better of me this morning, and a quick search revealed this:

While I agree that there is a problem with education systems valuing rote memorization over critical and applied thinking, I don't think the best way to approach the issue is by accepting the problem and focusing on enjoying the times when it stops.

The Outland collection book has author's/editor's notes under a few strips and this one's worth posting I think.

Trivia note: I wrote this entire strip as a scene in the 1990 CBS holiday production of A Wish For Wings That Work. We were going over the scene in storyboards with producer Steven Spielberg on the set of Hook when Robin Williams--in full Peter Pan costume--wandered by, took a peek at the dialogue and started playing the kiwi role. "Acting out" the role would be more precise. The cast was in proverbial stitches and we recorded Williams--unofficially and uncredited--that night. Dustin Hoffman came in to read the cockroach's single line. He read it--I'm quite serious--48 times to get it right. Go find the show. Yo now know the Big Secret. There's lots more.--BB

Here's the scene in question

Anyone saw "Inside Out"? Richard "Cul de Sac" Thompson's name is in the credits; apparently he did some character designs to it years ago. Not sure which one he specifically did, although I suspect it's Bing Bong.

Patrick McDonnell of "Mutts", incidentally, also did some development art for Pixar's "Up", too.
