Comic #3736: stating-the-obvious
Description
Here’s a detailed description of the comic:
The comic is divided into several panels, depicting a conversation between two characters while lying on a grassy hill under a starry sky.
- Panel 1:
- The first character, with curly brown hair and a pink shirt, asks, "Do we really need philosophy of life?"
- Panel 2:
- A second character with medium-length brown hair and a blue shirt responds with intensity, saying, "I mean, there are whole sections of Musonius about how you shouldn’t get too upset when someone is mean to you."
- Panel 3:
- The first character looks puzzled and says, "But… isn’t that obvious?"
- Panel 4:
- The second character continues, "Maybe there are no wise men. Maybe everything true is obvious, and we just empower certain people to tell us what we already know."
- Panel 5:
- The first character looks concerned and says, "You’re missing the point."
- Panel 6:
- The second character discusses, "There are people who go cradle to grave having never read a great book, gone on a great adventure, or thought a beautiful thought."
- Panel 7:
- They describe those people as living, "whole lives without the presence of profundity: happy, carefree, JOYOUS in their ignorance. Then, one day, with a smile on their lips, they expire."
- Panel 8:
- The second character concludes emphatically, "And they need to know they’re wrong-wrong-wrong!"
The characters are visually expressive, with exaggerated facial features that reflect their emotions, and the background is rich with stars, adding to the comic's philosophical theme.
