Comic #2190: 2011-05-13

Description

Here’s the transcription of the text from the comic:

Panel 1: Child: "Daddy, is there really 'evil' in the universe, or are there just temporary foes and personal failures we contextualize as part of a broader scheme?"

Panel 2: Father: "Humanity once believed in evil, but later we realized reality was stranger… more nuanced… more… bleakly complex."

Panel 3: Father: "That's why we created Skull-King, the giant robotic scourge of mankind." Sound effect: “Click”

Panel 4: Father: "So billions have died because complexity is 'sad'?"

Panel 5: Child: "Maybe none of this matters."

Panel 6: Father: "It was either that or looking within. Have you ever tried looking within?"

Panel 7: Child: "AAAH!!"

Panel 8: Narration: "Soon…" Child: "DIE, MONSTER!" The monster is depicted prominently.
