So, I found an cartoon online that I want to use for a postcard reminder I want to mail this week. Unfortunately, I’m having a terrible time identifying the artist so that I can ask for permission. I’ve been looking at the various websites that I’ve seen the cartoon posted on with no success, and have tried googling the signature but I don’t think I’m spelling it correctly. Anyone want to help? This is the cartoon, but not the artist’s blog: [Meaning of life](http://www.kurzweilai.net/cartoon-what-is-the-meaning-of-life) ---
