I never see anyone comment here, but your comics are amazing.
this one is great!
it makes me feel all zen inside
I dunno what it is, but something about “All Knowledge is Strange” is beyond commentary.
No. No it isn’t. It is possibly a graphical representation of a zen philosophy, or art, but it is not a comic. Comic infers comedy, which this lacks.
Nice idea though.
While this may not be a comic (or it may be! I call artist’s impartiality!) I’m afraid you’ve fallen into the trap of confusing a genre (comedy) with a medium (comics). Comics as a form can tell a story of any genre and have no requirement to be funny (which this strip in question may or may not be attempting to be and may or may not actually be, depending on artistic intent and individual interpretation). Okay, enough waffle from me. Carry on!
Is a guy who does not know what a comic is really “a guy who does not know what a comic is” if he only exists to you as a stream of photons calling themselves “Frank?”
Actually it is an empty patch shaped like the word frank within a stream of photons forming the background. They ain’t no such thing as a black photon.
*head explodes from confusion*
Oh God I just realised that, when it says that somebody ‘says’ or ‘writes’ something on the internet, it is not so- when we ‘talk’ to somebody, it is not so! Although I realised this before (I am not a complete dullard), I think it is just now that it clicked- how desperately alone we all are, and that although we communicate, it is only a shallow reflection of what has previously been the norm. Oh Noes! :O
Not really sure why this comic caused such an existential crisis and WHAT AM I DOING SITTING AT MY COMPUTER WHEN I COULD HAVE FRIENDS AHHHHHHHHHH
If I cannon a spider-monkey in the arse with a tennis racquet full of 9″ nails over a pond filled with sharks and through flaming rings in a wood but no-one is around
Is it still as fantastically awesome and funny?
