Will Press Lever...


Having just finished B.F. Skinner’s essay "Creating the Creative Artist," I decided to construct a drawing based on his principles of operant conditioning. Every time I drew the "right" line, my wife would reward my efforts with a delicious food pellet. All "bad" lines were discouraged with an electric shock.

This cartoon is the result.
