Since then,I asked talked to quite a few Canadians,in Canada,that I KNOW,about how their healthcare system works;well,there is a shortage of doctors,very much.Not enough to go around.Also,in some areas of Canada,the people living there,even outside Toronto,have no access to healthcare,cause their system has broken down,and there's no way to get it.???Either,their system there is overwhelmed,and everyone is on doctor[s waiting lists for years,and there's just no clinics,docs,facilities,and money,and there's no healthcare,even though these Canadians spend as much as 27 thousand a year,for national healthcare. ???They tell about hospital equipment(like x-rays)that do not work,so they have to go over the border,to the us,to use their hospitals.They tell that people are on waiting lists,for years,to see doctors,or they can pay a lot of cash to go to private clinics.If they cannot get into private clinics,they go to the US to see doctors,and pay money. A lot of Canadians brag their healthcare system is better than ours,but if you ask them a lot about it,they admit it's very limited,and people who are sick often can't get treatment,are on waiting lists for years,and can die on waiting lists,cause there are no doctors,they hate that system.Their system is overwhelmed.And yet,they;'re paying thousands of dollars into it,every year.Their taxes are huge.Yet,it sounds a lot worse than ours.Especailly the part about,if you have a lot of money,you skip the whole healthcare system,and you go to PRIVATE CLINICS,AND PRIVATE DOCTORS,AAand pay a lot of cash!!! In other words,everyone who is poor,low income,workingclass,and cannot afford it,has waiting lists,and maxed-out communist ghetto healthcare. The 3rd World of medicine!!ugh,scary.

Oh,and many many doctors have skipped out of the system,and have set up private clinics,and are doing private practice,and you have to pay cash to see decent ones.Wow.Talk about retreat into capitalism!!That's where all the doctors went,in Canada.That's why there is a huge shortage of docs in their system,those guys have left,to go into private non insurance practive.Money,is what they only take.NO insurance.

I thought our healthcare system was bad,and it's still going to be,cause many of our problems are not fixed by this healthcare bill;they are just ignored,and they'll get worse.Also,it is scary to find out,people in Canada tell me,the money for the whole insurance system is never enough to cover the needs of the whole system;no equipment,worn out hospitals,and no ,money for necessary equipment.Once all that money goes into their govt., it spreads so thin,you get a tookpick to take care of your emergency apendectomy.Imagine a large sack of fertilizer,is supposed to cover the needs of the entire state of Texas.It does not get spread around.They stop buying equipment,drugs,paying doctors,the doctors all dissappear,and leave,or go out of business.That is the future of our healthcare reform bill,here.Wow. Very democratic,and equal,no one can see a doctor except the rich,who pay cash.

If it were really like this in Canada, Dorothy, we wouldn't have to worry about health care. We'd have moved to the States or be dead!

My references are only an old memory of a underground comic book, by that really famous guy, I think. he did a comic book very similar to this, "despair"comics, or something like that.two people in a room,ordinary,in futile mediocre hopelessness of being stuck in this mediocre society, and daily tedium. this is an update, to the present despair and futility people feel now, a lot of them.--but the original picture was FUNNY, dark humour and satire. he's better than me.God, was that the seventies or eighties, i lost all my comic books.Damn. I lost my "armadillo comics" it was funny, well drawn.ok, so i copied his old comic book page, concept, ect. I liked it so much, it was such a good vehicle for this subject, the modern one.( I am also personally not feeling so good, i have two ear infections. ouch. And i just got older, shit, i hate that. (I'd prefer it to go a lot faster, and get it over with.like this picture concept, it just drags on.)---(thanks, itchymonkey, nice to know Crumb hates getting old too.)

(Despair is "mourning, grief", someone died, too.And someone else, is going to die."Old age is not for Wimps.")

Yes, it was. That was my first thought but I couldn't remember him doing anything called despair, but he did.

THAT'S EXACTLY THE COMIC!! I knew who it was, i just kept thinking "Cap, Cap" instead of "Crumb", my boomer brain hates names. "comixjoint.com/despair-1rst.html " but i never forgot that cover. It just said it all. heh heh. thanks, axil. thanks, itchy. :)

"copying R.Crumb's "Despair comics" for this era. ( i did a lousy coloring job, ugh) painting. it should have been all flat color, like a comic book.)

After i looked at this again, i liked it a lot more.pretty good comic, for me being out of practice.And i pretty much memorized the whole picture.

GOD, COMICS WORK GREAT ON COMPUTERS!!! THEY ARE FABULOUS TO USE ON COMICS!! WHY DIDNT WE HAVE COMPUTERS YEARS AGO? IT WOULD HAVE MADE COMICS SO GREAT TO DO!!! BOO-HOO, I MISSED OUT ON THE 'PUTER REVOLUTION OF ART!!I NEED A NEW, YOUNG ANDROID BODY!!

I bet Henry Ford thought,"How cum I can't do hot-rods, diesel, and souped-up cars??the autobahn hasn't been invented yet!! phooey, all we have are cars that get started with hand cranks!dang!! I want a lamborgini!! A mercedes! a funny car!boo hoo!" ha ha. no, i enjoyed doing this, it was fun, doing comics this way would be fantastic. wow. :)

thank you, everyone, who looked up the comics online! :)

my compliments to Warhol, Rauschenburg, (spelling) Hockney, and all the greats who know what "ART" is; real art makes you lots of MONEY. -- like sharks suspended in plastic, and Jesus dumped in urine. Art is whatever the experts in New York city say it is, when they can get you a big fat check for yours. Professors can tell us what "art" is, but I'll settle for being a fake, if I can cry all the way to the bank. That's my dictionary interpretation of "art." You are welcome to yours. ( i really like this type face.)

Ahh, but Lori, it's not "art", is it? but thanks, kind of you. :)

thank you, it didn't delete after all. Yes, if I had my old hands and fingers and wrists left, like in my youth, I could probably murder this board. As it is, when you get old and everything breaks down, you have to do what you can. Thanks anyhow, I appreciate the comments. :)

Gut, wenn es sich um eine zeichnung von einem kleinen Kind, es sieht mich seltsam an, denn es ist nicht so einfach. Wenn es sich um einen erwachsenen zeichnen dann rein saugt. Nur mir zwei Cent. Ich mag nicht es tut mir leid.
