'Sup, Dudes!?

Before you start in asking about this or that rule that should be an eXcEpTiOn, note that I did not make a rule against rules. That would have been pretty hypocritical, wouldn't it? (That said, Billie seems to think there should be a rule against rules against her being in my comic, but she's a dumbass…just ask me!) I just think rules are tiresome…and they're often stupid…and they don't actually make the world a better place to live…

The problem with rules, in my exceptionally humble opinion, is that they're trying to "perfect" life in some way, and the problem is that I don't want to live a "perfect" life. I want to be alive! (As much as a fictional character can, at least.) I want to live and experience things without constantly fretting about whether it's in line with some arbitrary rule that was made up who knows when, probably attributed to someone's OP* imaginary friend, and then turned into a problem for everyone on the planet.

Honestly, the problem rules are the ones where it's just about controlling other people. They're not about saying, "Hey, it's probably safer if you didn't exceed x speed on y road." They're more like, "I want to pretend that everyone likes me and is like me, so if they're not, punch them in the face." And that sucks.

Ugh…This isn't comprehensive, and I don't want it to be…Rules are exhausting, and I hate thinking about them. Just go live your life and don't be an idiot. If you are an idiot, you probably don't even realize it, but I'd suggest dunking your head in a vat of Dr. Pepper or something. You don't have to, though. That isn't a rule!

* For readers around Brian's mom's age, OP stands for Over Powered. Some people think that Superman is OP, but he's not. He's just cooler than Batman. (Superman has freeze breath, after all!)
