Comic #6540: prometheus
Description
Here’s a detailed, accessible description of the comic:
Panel 1: A character, presumably a god-like figure, stands triumphantly atop a mountain, surrounded by flames. They declare, "HUMANITY! I GIVE YOU FIRE!" Below, a crowd of silhouettes looks up at them.
Panel 2: Two figures, one with long hair and a beard, exclaim in excitement. One says, "Ooh, nice!" and the other responds, "I’m gonna invent burgers!" A third figure, possibly the same god-like character, is gesturing with a serious expression and says, "As punishment, you will be shackled to stone, and every day an eagle will pick the organs from your belly!"
Panel 3: The scene shifts to an eagle and a figure who is tied to a rock, speaking. The figure says, "Jeeb, where’s that eagle? It’s almost sundown! Oh hey! Humans!" The eagle looks towards the readers, indicating hunting or observing.
Panel 4: The tied figure converses with an unseen person, "Long time no see. Did you happen to see an eagle on your way here?" The eagle represents freedom or opportunity.
Panel 5: The eagle replies, "Oh man, eagles. There are no eagles." A character near a group of people responds contemplatively, "A large region of continuous habitat. And, well, so do we, only we have combustion engines and they don’t."
Panel 6: Another figure reflects, stating, "Turns out if you have fire you can spin a thing, and if you can spin a thing, the universe does whatever you like!"
Panel 7: A new character with a light pink shirt responds with a smile: "Aha…"
Panel 8: The scene shifts slightly. A character is left pondering and asks, "But… don’t you feel that something is lost?"
Panel 9: A figure replies, "What, poverty? Hunger? Infant mortality?"
Panel 10: The character resolves, "If you don’t mind, I’m just gonna hang out on this rock and think for a while."
Panel 11: A voice interrupts with a light-hearted tone: "Sorry, I have mineral rights to that rock."
