He is the true enchanter, whose spell operates, not upon the senses, but upon the imagination and the heart.
We have this myth that if you work hard, you can accomplish anything. It's not a very American thing to say, but I don't think that's true.

Even in a gleefully negative comic, there is optimism, although it's slightly hidden: It comes out through a comic character's sheer tenacity. He keeps going and trying to find some sort of fulfillment regardless of his perpetual failure record. That's a form of hope, a form of optimism. Really hokey I know, but it's true.
