View Original Comic

Description

Here's the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1 Person 1: "If you could send a message to your past self, what would it be?" Person 2: "Do anything you want, no matter how selfish or repulsive."

Panel 2 Person 2: "The fact that current me is advising past me implies that current me is already the result of past me's actions."

Panel 3 Person 2: "Current me has a nice partner, a stable job, a retirement plan, and apparently no memory of, for instance, stealing food from a hungry child or shooting a man just to watch him die."

Panel 4 Person 1: "So, the reasonable thing is to tell my past self to indulge in any behavior of any kind, with the full knowledge that it will have no consequence whatsoever."

Panel 5 Person 1: "I mean, would you change anything about your past?" Person 2: "I would like to have taken more questions literally."
