Jesus christ, Like, it's interesting, but I read Wheel of Time gladly and even THIS was a bit too verbose for me.

One of my favorite hats is a frog hat like that, but the sides extend down to my hands. Best when you need to be absurd.

Damn. That's a very profound frog

I thought the Zubat with legs was more profound

I dunno, the eyeball seemed a lot more profound to me than the frog.

The pictures were nice.

See, when a writer does shit like this, it's pretentious allegory. Comic artists do it and people can't STOP jacking off.

The Great Divorce has a well written counterpoint chapter to this if any of you are looking for more - super interesting comic

Most important question is "who loves orange soda?"

I feel like this response is more 'TL;DR' or 'American' than anything.

great job villainizing someone by making them fat.

A fun way to look at it is questions breed answers, which in turn breed different questions. It's a neverending cycle. Not sure I agree 1/?
2/? with the concept of a 'big, old answer', as usually people start questioning those and they are more evolved than they are discarded.

The eye would be a great scientist. Because that’s how science works. Always seeking questions, throwing away old answers if they make 1/2
no sense anymore. I like the analogy. But I think people who needs to understand this won’t understand this cartoon. Maybe I’m wrong though?
Grymhar
I agree with you, but I also think we're all the answers-collector sometimes. There are always aspects of our lives we never question.

I got the same impression you did. But I agree, the people who think they already have all the answers will just leave in a huff like the >
> fish man did.
tastybowlofsoup
As a scientist - you don't throw away the old answers, because the only way for real progress is iterative. 1/2
Because the difference between old and new answer might pose a new question as well. 2/2
DeveloperDan783
The story is great but the art, style, anatomy, and that shading. Wow
TheGhastHunter
Both are important. Answer your questions and question your answers.

The point of all the questions is to find better answers than the ones we have, because we know they are out there.
darkstarmc
Thanks.I hate it.
Thoughtful philosophy and it's discourse isn't for everyone.
Or I disagree with the message but let's go with anyone who doesn't like what I like is stupid instead sure.
Not sure why you'd assume like that, and while I don't recommend making assumptions when you're upset, whatever floats your boat.
You're a funny guy but if this is what it takes to get your dick hard go for it bud.
I leave for a week and I come back to some dude talking about my dick. Flattered, but no thank you.
MrtheOffender
I kinda feel like the horned horror walking his fish is the only one in the comic with any sense. Interesting comic though.

Ponder this: When you solve a mystery do you destroy it?
ThisIsDope
I might say when mysteries are solved they’re either destroyed or framed. Like a jigsaw, to be remembered or passed on for others to solve.
Many times destroying 1 mystery gives birth to many.
MrKomisiripala
solving The Big Mystery gives birth to many little mysteries that might eclipse the original mystery. Ex: finding out the world is flat
ADHDFox
No. I find answers lead to more questions. Two parts of a whole ever shifting cycle. Its the best gift of existence.
JoeGrunt
Ponder this: If you solve a mystery, & someone else solves the same mystery with a solution incompatible with yours, is the mystery solved?
Or is yet another mystery created?
ErrorUsernameNotSetToInstanceofAnObject
For you, yes the mystery lays slain and its truth bared to see. But for others, it may yet remain as a living enigma until they slay it.
zerothealien
Like a boss you can only beat once in an mmo
Fun fact: I originally posted this as a statement but in deference to the story made it a question.
morelikeconsham
Yes. Is that a bad thing? Even if you just like mysteries, rest assured that solutions tend to produce more mysteries.
ertya17
No. I would not say you destroyed it. More like completed it. For what is a mystery if not an incomplete story?
upfr0mhere

When you solve a tied knot, do you destroy it?
When you untie a knot it is no longer a knot.

I was at a bar and a strange man came in and was performing an amazing bar trick on everyone. We all were entranced and delighted 1/
To be taken in by his trick, where he seemed to really be able to read our minds and conjure up the most obscure and unguessable details 2/
Of our lives. He held court for hours, we all took turns being mystified and amazed. The bar was full of energy and excitement. Then, 3/
Someone figured out the trick. And told me, and told others, and it spread and we all knew how he did it. And the room just deflated. 4/
All of the excitement was gone. We all said, “cool trick” but you could tell, everyone was disappointed to learn the magic wasn’t real.
I feel like the way these personifications are is a bit unsettling, because I feel like the logic employed by eyeball is often anti-vaxxer.
So personifying a crazy person who values conspiracies, and questions, over truth... as rightous, and the other person as villainous sucks
also villainizing someone by making them fat also sucks ass.
keenidiot
Yup. I dip into conspiracy theories for fun and there's a lot of worship of questions and mystery.
Blank666
I like the eyeball much more than the fat thing
Khatvogel
The eyeball is a tiny little frog baby. Thats why the fat thing calls him youngster
fnoigy
They're both twats for different reasons
TheCuntCrusader
I feel like the artist made him slighty more dislikeable on purpose. Big ugly form, curt replies and interruptions etc.
Mildly insulting because I generally side with the frog's position.
I do too! Which is why I'm glad the artist didnt make it seem like either side fully "won" in the end, and lets the reader decide.
