Watch out Lemmo! Aric is going to use his molars to chew through your optic nerve!
Also, Lemmo, just think of it like this: no one can ever really know transcendent truth; believe that there is a meaning, even if we can’t understand it.
But who is to say that there is not an understandable meaning? Based on everything that has happened so far, I think having a purpose would not come even close to being weird. Unless, of course, that truth was delivered by a giant, talking, flying monkey deity. Then it would be about on par with everything else.
Has anyone but me noticed the fog-type formations in the background? What about the tail-like things coming out of Aric and Lemmo? (or are those just shadows?)
Side note: when I opened this page, google toolbar asked if I wanted to translate this page for indonesian. I LOL’d
anybody feel sorry for poor lemmo? i feel kinda sad for all that theyre going through, especially lemmo, realizing that reality alters to his presence, causing the tyranical rage of a madman, the death of societies… i know its not his fault, but sympathy to you man!
Well, the first time Lemmo spoke it ruined the moment Aric was having as he gloried in his pantslessness, so I’d say it’s a throwback to that. Plus, the reference to ruining the moment is also a throwback to the first strip, so we seem to be throwing back to about the same point in time.
I’d stopped caring about his pants, but what I’m wondering is when Aric is gonna get his hat back!
I’m going to disagree and say the first word in this strip is what Aric is referring to, when Lemmo asks “Why?”. After the point-of-view thing, it was a moment-ruiner for sure.
now why do we need a purpose? what is it that makes people want a purpose? (I would LOVE a porpoise). I just read the book “Medicine River” which ends without climax or any sort of change since the beginning. it was a brief snapshot of life. I think we should not ponder a “Why?” of existence but just enjoy the life we have now. personally i don’t think there was a point, just electrically charged atoms and compounds that for amino acids and early DNA and since then all life we know has evolved. thats my take on existentialism, its a waste of time.
@Renee: I think what he was trying to say was that we should all just go with the flow. He also challenged every religion in existance but hey it’s his opinion. I’m a bad Christian so don’t asume that I take offence to what you just said, I don’t. Also man though I believe in evolution myself it technically hasn’t been proven yet kinda like global warming (or at least al gores version) so you shouldn’t talk about it like it like it’s a fact cause it’s not technically it’s still a theory.
@me: I wanna take back my comment on you saying evolution is a fact cause I re-read your message And realized that you only said think not that it is sorry about the rant I miss-read your message.

Aric is such a nice guy…
May 17th, 2010 at 4:34 am
For once lemo rationalizes while Eric is being the funny one who doesn’t care about ‘why’ they are there

I now want to find a reason to use the phrase “existential rabbit hole”

Did they spontaneously switch brains or something?

Hey, role-reversal! You think it has anything to do with something plot-related that may be really wierd?
May 17th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
nice subtle change there. it’s nice for people to switch around and stuff.
I also love Aric’s last line. :D

After looking closer, I realized they were on bugs and the tails were the legs and the fog stuff were the wings, sorry!
Indonesian thing’s still funny though.

I claim this comic for my birthday. >_> <_< At the ripe ol' age of 31, I am not jumping down the existential rabbit hole
May 17th, 2010 at 6:01 pm
Yeah Lemmo, the first time you spoke you drew attention to the pantslessness of Aric’s society. That ruined everything.
There are so many perfect things about this comic, and each strip just keeps making it better.

I’m also kind of wondering if Aric will ever get his pants back…
May 17th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
it’s always about the moment…
May 18th, 2010 at 12:11 pm
The first time he spoke? As in when Lemmo started getting moody or way back when they first met?
May 18th, 2010 at 12:17 pm

Cool, thanks for the reply. I’m surprised it only took 6 minuets for an answer.
May 18th, 2010 at 3:57 pm
I really liked Lemmo’s shoes, you know. Proper arch support is a must in the vast wasteland that is the canvasverse.

is it me or are Lemmo’s hair spikes getting longer???
May 19th, 2010 at 11:05 pm
*front hair spikes
May 19th, 2010 at 11:10 pm
@FireArms I was actually just replying to the comic. I realize it’s a couple days too late. ^^;
May 19th, 2010 at 11:50 pm
@Jeremy Lemmo does not draw Lemmo’s hair spikes to scale.
May 20th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
@Eric yeah you’re right but they are just getting ridiculously big XD
