The Wheedler works hard to convince us that we can put it off

Carpe Diem - meaning literally "seize the day." The full text from Horace's Odes is carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero or "enjoy today, trusting little in tomorrow."

This expression has been used for centuries with contrasting meanings. For example, it has been used to celebrate and defend procrastination with a focus on enjoying the moment - "Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow you may die." Yet, it has also been used as an admonition; scolding ourselves to focus on the pressing task at hand with expressions such as "make hay while the sun shines."

What better title for our comic?! Carpe Diem allows us to laugh at our propensity to put it off, while lamenting the tragedy of our inability to seize the day and accomplish our goals! Laugh or cry, we hope you'll enjoy the situations we portray.
