Stress can show up anywhere; in fact, some days it seems to be everywhere. It is part of our daily busy lifestyles. There are stressful situations at work, at school, and at home. There are long lines in the supermarket and at the bank. Everywhere we rush to, we wait for our turn such as an appointment with our doctor or dentist. Even fast food is not fast as we wait in long lines for our precooked burger and fries. We care for our home and family, work at our job, and car pool the kids longingly looking forward to falling into bed to rest. Once there, sleep is elusive because we are over tired and over stressed.
What better fodder for a cartoonist then the daily stress faced by most of us each day. Taking the time to enjoy cartoons about stress, and cartoons in general, is an excellent way to relieve the stress we face and reap the benefits that laughter has on our bodies.
