For most of us, finding someone who really understands us is a difficult problem. Some fortunate few discover such a person at a young age and spend 50 years or more in harmonious matrimony.
There are many individuals who have longtime, close friends - people whose strings are tuned so closely to their own that they can almost converse, without actually speaking.
But a great number of men and women have no such confidant. No one upon whom they can safely unburden themselves of their deepest secrets, or ask their most pressing questions.
My friend Knotso Clanky finds himself in that awkward position, where although he knows a great many people, there's not a single one who could serve as Frick to his Frack.
Finally Knotso came up with a solution which he shared in a recent cartoon. While it may not be a perfect answer to the problem, it may work well. Time will tell!
