It Doesn't Work in Zombie Universe







I feel like this was an obvious direction for this to go. It seems like the only thing that could happen, given the circumstances. Am I wrong there? Is there some other thing that seems obvious to you? I have an interest in the way I perceive this thing that is a comic as compared to anyone else's thoughts and notions. For all I know, you could have an intense hankering for more real-life objects to appear and suspect an object-centric plotline due to your unquenchable secret thirst.

It's not your eyes; there are some weird flash-spots in the background of panel one. They're maybe subtler than I wanted them to be, but it was an experiment and I'm pretty sure it worked. Maybe. Don't spend too much time looking, though, because you can totally screw up your eyes that way and I'd hate to see that go down.

So the comic today tries to "address" the "problem" of the Ikes' and Didos' multiplicity. Going on the "hang a lantern on it" theory of problem-solving. Did you notice? There are so many of them! Both the Ikko-machine and the two bubbled pilots are there. Autonomy? Alternate existence? It's hard to tell. As hard as it is to tell exactly which of the bunch in the last panel is asking the question. We learned our lesson about spiky horrible word balloons, that's for sure! Ambiguity is cool; just ask a Lojbanist. I know it looks like they're against it, but secretly it is the only way to make the language interesting ever, and everyone knows it.

So I'm definitely trapped here in my house until this horrible snowstorm everyone is freaking out about blows by. I'm hoping there's a lull at some point big enough for a dude to drive through, but my drive takes me the entire way across Ohio, which is where this storm just signed a two-day lease. You ask wunderground.com about it, they'll shriek murderous portents at you. Expect either way too many or way to few comics as a result. It'll be one or the other, but definitely not the perfect amount of comics.
