Reality Check is a glimpse at everyday life situations through cartoonist Dave Whamond's eyes -- a wacky vision of the world that exposes the hidden hilarity in ordinary circumstances. Reality Check started April 3, 1995 in newspapers nationwide. "My goal is to make Reality Check consistently funny and fresh," says Whamond. "I think it's important to be topical, but at the same time you have to try to find new approaches to what everybody else is doing. Reality Check is more a state of mind than anything else. The characters could be people you know -- maybe even a bit of yourself -- but the names have been changed to protect the innocent. Whamond's approach to the comic is similar to his approach to life. "I like to add levity to everyday situations," he says. "People take life far too seriously and Reality Check is a reminder of that. I just frame some of the silliness of everyday life in the comic and I invite people to do a double-take -- to look at life from another angle."
