Artist Reply: I'm firmly convinced that this is nature's way of culling the herd, Maria. Trouble is, we've gotten smarter over the years. Uh, not terribly smarter over-all but there's enough intelligence by a small percentage to put up a good fight. Are we only delaying the inevitable and/or opening the door to something worse? We've taken antibiotics so much over our lives, they are losing their potency. And now we are facing something to which we have no natural immunity. We have altered the 'survival of the fittest' idea with modern medicine but are we as a race actually better for it? Thanks for the nice comment. Yes, I'm seeing more than most, thank you. :)

Artist Reply: I sat down last evening and this rolled off the pen, Ginger. After I drew it, I thought the question we are all thinking would make a good title. It's sort of like the kids in the backseat who ask, "Are we there yet?" when the parents are navigating falling boulders. Thanks for the comment. Hope you and yours are doing great. :)

Artist Reply: Perhaps all of the above, Elton, perhaps none of the above. It could be a 'trick' question. You remember those, don't you? Though I wouldn't ask him if he'd like another meal with rice. :)
