i wonder how celebrities can stay grounded in reality and remain humble.  can you imagine having agents, fans, family – literally everybody bending over backwards just to please you?  in that environment, it would be so easy to just succumb to the god-worship and live it up!  at the same time, it would be virtually impossible to know who really likes you for who you are, and not just your fame, fortune, or looks.  take that down a notch, and i would venture to say those who are richer, better looking, more connected, whatever – get a taste of that lifestyle.  that’s why it’s important for everybody to go back to basics – be nice and stay humble.

lately the strips have been focused on individual characters, and i think this one really gets to the heart of Ivy.
