I thought my life would seem more interesting with a musical score and a laugh track.
Meaning of the quote
The quote by American cartoonist Bill Watterson suggests that he felt his life would be more exciting if it had a soundtrack and a laugh track, like in a TV show or movie. He seems to imply that real life can sometimes feel ordinary, and adding background music or laughter from an audience might make it seem more interesting or entertaining. However, the quote suggests that Watterson recognized this is not how real life actually works.
