--- If it had just been one comic in today's (NY Newsday) paper, I wouldn't have thought much about it... but today there were two on the same sheet.
--- and as I don't know how to access the comic sites on a "not the current one" basis, I have copied them to here:

--- both can be seen at gocomics.com if the date, 11/30/09 is specified.

--- I instantly recognized each of the characters as being INTJ, as being me ! -- yes, that's me ! ...though no one making comments on the comics had any idea that the character's reaction was a personality trait.

--- so my question is - How much of the world is aware that we are prisoners (not necessarily unhappy ones) in our little INTJ prisons ??? ...or do they just dismiss us as being "weird".

They dismiss us. Which I'm grateful for.

One of the things about comics is that the characters in them have to be relate-able for them to be successful. If these characters are in a comic then it stands to reason that the population at large either feel similarities between their own lives and the character or they know someone that reminds them of the character. If the characters in the strip have traits that you identify with, then I would think that yes, the world is aware of people like that, but like to view them in a comedic, quirky way. I'd suggest that the person in the first comic, the one asking to be happy and for things to make sense, is likely something that most people, not just INTJ's, would identify with. I'd say it is a very human moment, not an INTJ one.
