How to Give Someone Hope

This comic is, predictably, based on a real conversation between me and the real Rick about his love life.

One of the things that makes our friendship work is that we have similar inappropriate emotional responses. The worse things get, the more we laugh. Once Rick suffered some terrible setback at work. His wife at the time tried to console him. He only got more upset. When I showed up Rick shouted, “Yes, “Meyer! You know what I need!” I immediately started making fun of him, which cheered him up instantly.

I’m writing this mid-March, 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic and attached stock market dip/correction/bear market/recession. When I watch the news, you’d think I was watching a Monty Python movie from my reactions.
