The planet will be here for a long, long, long time after we’re gone and it will heal itself, it will cleanse itself ’cause that’s what it does. It’s a self-correcting system. The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed, and if it’s true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new paradigm: the Earth plus Plastic. The Earth doesn’t share our prejudice towards plastic. Plastic came out of the Earth; the Earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the Earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place: it wanted plastic for itself, didn’t know how to make it, needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old philosophical question: “Why are we here?” Plastic, assholes!
One of my biggest regrets in life was passing on an opportunity to see him perform. A friend had some tickets and invited me, but I wasn’t able to get the day off work. “I’ll catch him when he tours again next year”, I thought. He died later that year.
I saw him in Marquette, Michigan in the early 90s. The only thing I remember about the performance was “don’t call Natives ‘Native Americans’. America sucks. Just call them Indians.”
Marquette’s pretty much the backwater of Michigan, he must have been working on new material.

How old is that? I’ve been looking for one for years. I think that’s it, but I don’t remember the last panel like that
Gosh, I wanna say I saw it at least as far back as 2010, possibly older.
I really miss that guy

So many of us do, but if he was alive in 2016, Trump winning would have killed him.
