		<description><![CDATA[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happiness

... have found that about 50% of one&#039;s happiness depends on one&#039;s genes, based on studying identical twins, whose happiness is 50% correlated even when growing up in different houses.[5] About 10% to 15% is a result of various measurable life circumstances variables, such as socioeconomic status, marital status, health, income, sex[6] and others. The remaining 40% is a combination of unknown factors and the results of actions that individuals deliberately engage in to become happier. These actions may vary between persons; extroverts, for example, may benefit from placing themselves in situations involving large amounts of human interaction. Also, exercise has been shown to increase one&#039;s level of momentary subjective well-being significantly.

		<description><![CDATA[I thoguht about what Jippus wrote.

Well, i dont live on this planet as long as you do. Therefore I didnt came around much and I dont know how to find the right words to describe what i want to tell you. English is not my motherlanguage and online dictionaries dont tell more profound meanings.

I think the fact that you are drawing thoose comics would justify(?) a lot of sadness and suffering.
Maybe even death or something real terrible (without backstabbing yourself) if you would not live where you live.
Or Today.
I would never ask you &quot;what do you live for?&quot;.
I think I can see it, you know?
I only have raw ideas about the live you walk through.

But, because of the fact that it was so hard for me to get those insights?/views?/opinions?  wich I need to understand the part of your art i like most.

I&#039;m happy for you because you live in a country where you may/can/should express yourself in this way. 
Maybe it&#039;s the time, though!
And Im even more happy for you because at least I think that it has to be a great feeling to have something that you do what
a) lasts when you die 
b) making humans happy
c) builds solidarity

I wonder how your life is because you make so many people happy, and they know you do. 
Go on!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shit happens Jeroen.Regardless of country.

I&#039;m in a rather similar emotional state and I can&#039;t draw for shit so that kinda makes me worse off than you :)

It&#039;s bloody hard coping with life sometimes. I mean, really, it is. I know. Sometimes, there is something within you that keeps things from happenning, that prevents you from taking full advantage of your strengths. If you think that this is indeed the case then you dig a bit, find probable suspects, and force them to confess. Sometimes you can&#039;t do it by yourself and you need someone to give you a helping hand. You give it a shot. Of course, even if you don&#039;t have anything really big blocking the way, life may still not give you what you want. In which case you just do what they say:

Two tears in a bucket, motherfuck it. 

And you carry on.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It doesn’t take much to be someone special

You know that bit from the top of your page, it&#039;s true, you ARE someone special, most of us have at one time or another felt exactly like your Little Dude, and your cartoons speak to us.

That makes you enormously special, and worthwhile AND amazing.

I&#039;m glad you&#039;re feeling a bit better, hang in there.

A dedicated fan from Australia!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow... I&#039;m speechless. I never expected that much reactions. You are all really amazing! Thank you, all of you. I&#039;m still a bit miserable after a restless night, but your comments are helping me feel better.

On the positive side: I haven&#039;t drawn them yet, but I feel quite a lot of new cartoons coming up.

That&#039;s why I have to say something particularly to Jippus. You do have a strong and valid point. In fact, you&#039;re preempting a cartoon I was planning to draw about that. It&#039;s possible that it partly works that way. But those feelings were there also before I started drawing Happysad, so I&#039;m not sure if quitting would actually make me that much happier. 
Shit still happens, regardless. 

Anyway, thanks again everyone. I do have the most awesome fans! :)]]></description>
