This is one of those comics that causes a bunch of readers to check in on my mental health, isn’t it?
I’ve been having this problem with This Is How You Lose the Time War which totally implies the human species will survive the next few centuries regardless of the climate crisis, the plastic crisis and our preference for fascism or annihilation rather than giving up capitalism and hierarchy.
In fact, the conflict is just an epic tastes great / less filling choice between two transhuman far futures in which all of today’s culture is recovered and preserved. We matter!
But yeah, its just the correspondence between two fictional heroes in love. They don’t exist past the page.
No need to check on my sanity. Im long diagnosed and a soul crushing emo whose suicide risk is carefully managed.
The world is full of endless possibilities. Fiction is fun because no matter how improbable, the words on that page could come true some day. At other times, is fun to imagine what could’ve been if things had gone slightly differently.
Don’t say that, those drawings have a wonderful and bright future ahead of them :(
Please specify how long they lived or else someone will ruin it again
Sometimes Zach Wienersmith gets a little too wordy and abstract, but this SMBC has been burned in my memory since I was first exposed to it’s cold and condensed existentialism.
maybe the people in the picture are real and the reader isn’t
Reminds me of the very last credits gag they did in Community; Community, the board game https://youtu.be/lMW58MiSLe0?si=-yDzatobk-lAZOwv
Actually, they could have a history if the author wants to.
