This strip works on a couple of levels since I am Billy&#8217;s writer, I am his god. Since we have no real god, here in the real world, we get to write our own stories&#8211;mostly. Sure, we don&#8217;t have control over everything, but we have control over how we react to what life throws at us. So, why not take responsibility and stop blaming some god? Step up to the plate and be a human.</p>
