Boody knows “anything” can get worse, it can also get better, so it’s a crapshoot.

If Sir Dudley ever found a more positive attitude, would that be canned laughter?

An optimist thinks that this is the best possible world. A pessimist is sure it is.

I imagine a can crinkling sound effect in the last panel.

“The only sentence in the English language which is always true, no matter the situation, is ‘It could be worse’.”

Optimist: The glass is half full

Pessimist: The glass is half empty

Engineer: The glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Oh,snap.

Pessimists tend to be the realists which isn’t generally positive. Heinlein said it is better to be an optimist though the pessimist is right more often you won’t have more friends.

I am happy with optimists; I consider my role is to show the downside is important too.

I think “can” is the operative word here.

Remarkable! Captain Odom has drawn out the best and the worst in each of them, Boody and Sir Dudley….

An Optimist believes this is the Best Of All Possible Worlds.

The Pessimist is Afraid the Optimist is Right.

Me: “Bartender, fill me another glass while you’re at it.”

A True Optimist is they guy who can say: “Here, Hold My Beer” in Any situation.
