Nobody seems to even
ask why we do it.
No voice of gentle enquiry.
No bewildered cry from
the street: the sudden
shout, "Why do we do it?!"
How strange!
It's as if everyone knows
PRECISELY why we do it and
the reason is too obvious to
mention ....
or perhaps too vile
and shameful to
acknowledge; or too silly.
Why the silence?
Do we do it because
everybody else does it and
because we're afraid of
not doing it?
WHY? Please!
Somebody!
WHY DO WE DO IT?

Remind me to scan the actual cartoons at some stage ... from the 'Goatperson' book ...
Click here for part I of the cartoon
Click here for part II {assuming I upload 'em}
Click here for a list of Mr Leunig's books over at the Curly Flat site
Update: Click here for another toon from 'Goatperson'
Here's one from early November 2002 {hopefully the link will work?}
... if not, simply click 'previous' a couple of times to see the toon from November 8th ... and the one from November 6th is cute as well ... :)
