  1. BrokenEye, the True False Prophet

    Ah yes, the big issues. Like, you know that trick the Cheshire Cat does where he turns invisible except for his smile? If he were to turn around, would you see the backs of his teeth?

    If the lore is forgotten, where did Poe get many a quaint and curious volume of it?

    Does Rule 34 apply to abstract concepts?

    Why do people say something “goes without saying” and then say it anyway?

    The people have a right to know!

        Poe wrote on both.

        They both make notes, if a little flat.

        Both have inky quills and many a ‘pinion upon them.

        They both hold quills and opinions

      Due to the nature of the Cheshire cat’s unusual teeth, you probably could see them from the back, but they’d look the same as the front. Sorta like the way that if you were invisible but could still see, that anyone looking at you from the back would see two black blotches where your eyes took in the light.

      The lore was forgotten AFTER Poe procured it. He put it on the bookshelves and forgot he had it. I do that a lot… except with boxes instead of bookshelves.

      No exceptions.

      People say “goes without saying” because it doesn’t, but they honestly believed it did and should. Either that or they’re telling you something you already know NOT to inform you of it, but to draw attention back to it.

      And no, the people don’t.

    I can’t speak to the rest, but I know that Rule 34 applies to abstract concepts.

    That last panel reminds of Peanuts. The animated version, I’m unfamiliar with the comic strip. You’re a Good Sport Charlie Brown, I think, where Charlie Brown spends the end credits sitting on the pitcher’s mound in his underwear, pondering his latest failure.

      She completely forgot about it two minutes later.

    (TUNE: “The Happy Wanderer”, Friedrich-Wilhelm Möller & Antonia Ridge)

    My training is the mystic type!
    I run from dark to dawn …
    Though many of the readers gripe
    I still have my shirt on!

    Effin’ aye, effin’ A,
    Effin’ aye, effin’ ewan seein’ kayo,
    Effin’ aye, effin’ A!
    I still have my shirt on!

    I’m running through these woods so bent!
    I run until I find
    My mind achieves enlightenment
    (If I just had a mind!)

    Effin’ aye, effin’ A,
    Effin’ aye, effin’ ewan seein’ kayo,
    Effin’ aye, effin’ A!
    If I just had a mind!

    I contemplate the mystic words,
    I ponder day and night …
    Does barf taste good to baby birds,
    Or are they just polite?

    Effin’ aye, effin’ A,
    Effin’ aye, effin’ ewan seein’ kayo,
    Effin’ aye, effin’ A!
    Or are they just polite?

    I like this strip. It has a very “Calvin and Hobbes” feel to it.
