Tim Kreider Quote
You'd think that it would make them all the more credible to be free of any obvious agenda or emotional bias, motivated only by objective logic. But there's something off-putting about these hyperrational types; they're immune to any appeals to common sense or humor, the for fuck's sake defense. [...] As Kim Stanley Robinson writes, An excess of reason is in itself a form of madness.

About Tim Kreider
The Pain – When Will It End? is a cartoon drawn by Tim Kreider (born February 25, 1967) from 1994 until June 8, 2009 (with sporadic updates through early 2013). It was self-published until it began running weekly in the Baltimore City Paper in 1997. It was later picked up by the Jackson Planet Weekly and The Indy in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois. Since September 2000, it is also a webcomic.
Many of Kreider's comics during the 2000s addressed issues in American politics from a point of view harshly critical of the Presidency of George W. Bush. He is among the artists featured in Attitude 2: The New Subversive Alternative Cartoonists, edited by Ted Rall (2004). In 2006, The New York Times printed his defense of Pluto as a planet before and after its demotion to dwarf planet.
Anthology books include The Pain – When Will It End? (May 2004), Why Do They Kill Me? (May 2005) and Twilight of the Assholes: Cartoons & Essays 2005–2009 (February 2011). A limited edition collection, Fuck Them All, was published in September 2004 and a collection of essays and cartoons, We Learn Nothing, in 2012.
