I Need A Hobby - Zeppelins are easy to build (they’re just big balloons), cheap to make (they’re mostly air), and great for your brand (you can put your name on those massive air balloons).
Laziness - I’m surprised he wasn’t too lazy to leave his house!
Pierre Finds Fame - “If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.” Being great wasn’t the problem. Not being able to retain that greatness was the problem. Poor Pierre.
Silly Pierre. He should have sold the painting, then moved the Middle East and brokered peace. Then on to Russia to do the same, etc., etc. Although, that is probably not a one-time thing either.
Haha! I love your “old guys on a bench” comics. They always give me a good chuckle. Also, I was happy to see Pierre learn from his mistakes! Great stories all around.

On an alternate Earth, giant airships roam the skies.
Thanks again for a delightful collection of stories and musings.
I remember Pierre — I'm glad you're giving some of your old stories new life, Mark!
I should join that lazy society, but never seem to have the time.
Pierre is right. Greatness is a curse. Best to leave it to amateurs and politicians.
oh Pierre!!!
