Description

Here's the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: When you get that funny feeling, it means you have to go!

(Floopy, a small red puppet, is talking to a child.)

Panel 2: But Floopy, you're a puppet! You have no digestive tract! How can you teach me to go potty?

Panel 3: A thousand nights have I lain awake, wondering what it must be… to be alive.

Panel 4: To feel the fluxes and fluids coursing through me. To feel my spirit quickening.

Panel 5: I have no inheritance. YOU— you who were born to a soul— you have never tasted the obsession born of hopelessness. The longing. The pathos.

Panel 6: You were birthed in the temple of life! But I— I who will never be permitted within— I have poured over every bend in its architecture! What you took for granted I coveted! The sands under your feet were the stars in my heaven.

Panel 7: Now stop shitting your pants and use the damn potty!

Panel 8: Yes, Floopy.

Panel 9: Wow! She potty-trained instantly.

Panel 10: It's about telling a story.

(The comic is styled with colorful cartoon art, featuring a puppet and a child in conversation, with a humorous and dramatic tone.)
