Description This comic appears in Secret Prison 2.

My sister says this says too much about my life and is quite upsetting. However, I kind of meant it to be a broader take on how bizarre and hopeless the shit we do is.

I think I just did. You don't need to get a new one though, you just need to make this one funner.

I'd have to say: The mundane life of every person on earth...rich or poor, young or old, smart or dumb...the list goes on.
This is a wonderful piece.

When it boils down to it we all more or less do the same things. Though clearly many people have it much much worse than whiney middle class doodlers like me.

Depressing, yeah, but maybe because it hits close to home

Keep doing this kind of things, they're amazing!

I don't know why but the "SOME" panel where (I assume) he's throwing a pebble into the water? Is my favourite. It's hilarious.
I'd also like to believe it's a coin and he's making a wish.

ok, so i saw the request as a print link (i've never dsone this before) but i think i;d prefer the original, depending on the price.

MumblingIdiot In reply to emgib [2010-09-14 15:20:02 +0000 UTC]

Hey, I don't think I'd part with the original unless it was for a significant price, though send me an email if you're really interested. I may well do a print of this at some point though.

I can see how this could be construed as depressing...but me? I find it entertaining and touching! It's that "take a step back and have a look" mentality.

Impartiality makes life seem pointless but in fact it's an entirely neutral standpoint... if nothing matters then there's no pressure on anything! You can enjoy doing either nothing or everything as much as you like if it's all inconsequential!

The point I'm making here really is that this illustrates that point very nicely

well done!

Yes, it is. But somehow, something makes most of the days worth it. I mean, waking up and doing hopeless shit is much better than not waking up at all. At least, you have the opportunity to find some not-bad-at-all shit in between it all.

Great comic, btw

Love this one. Just want to tell you one thing - if itΒ΄s so much about your life, change it. Life isnΒ΄t just about waking up and lying down, all the same things again and again.

You have to make it exceptionall - no one else will do it for you (ok, one person can do it, actually ), but somehow... IΒ΄m sure itΒ΄s not like that all the time in your life. Dunno why.

Hope so once again, itΒ΄s a brilliant one, people should look at it and think about their lives, seriously.

Gonna DD it!!

Thanks a lot! I know and agree. This isn't really how I see my life. More a case of stepping back and looking at the bare bones of what it is we really spend the day doing. Obviously some aspects are particular to me, but they're my problems.

This is truly brilliant, and quite poetic. It really speaks to banality of our everyday lives, but in doing so also suggests there's something bigger out there for us to find, although we might never actually reach it. Bravo!

Thank you very much! Poetic.. there's a word I'd like to be able to use to describe my work more. Usually my stuff is kind of blunt and naively to the point I think.
