This drawing treats two common themes in the life of high school seniors: signing lots of yearbooks, and dodging army recruiters. During my senior year, I got repeated phone calls and postcards from the army, trying to convince me to sign up. They never got very far with me, though...

Time has matured my outlook on the military. The world is now a different place than it was when I drew this comic. With the changes wrought by terrorist activities at home and abroad, I have a renewed respect for those brave men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our basic freedoms. So although a stint in the military was never part of my career path, I salute all who do serve so honorably in the armed forces.
