The succession of being

Continued from yesterday's comic, a stick figure stands facing another figure whose lines had transformed into dashes yesterday and which are now quite faded, so that the second figure is now primarily visible as an empty shape without outside lines. The first says, "What are you now?" The second says, "I'm not sure. But now I realize that before now, I wasn't as sure as I thought, either."

P.S. It's extremely OK to not be sure.

Meta! What is it good phor?

Two people are walking and talking. Panel 1 of 2: Person 1 says, "I'm trying to free myself from metaphors." Person 2: "But your stated goal is itself a conceptual metaphor." Panel 2 of 2: Person 1 says, "I see that now. Then my struggle must necessarily be in vain." Person 2: "Do you want me to keep pointing out the metaphors, or would that be adding insult to injury?" Person 1: "Do whatever you like. Our entire existence is merely an obscure and overwrought joke."

Language and thought are a prison!

In which Murv lingers

Murv, a stick figure, addresses a point above his eyeline and sort of cups a hand to project his voice: "Hello? Writer? It's been a couple days since you said I was about to die... I'm just wondering whether you have a timeframe in mind. Should I make plans for the weekend? This is Murv, by the way.

I KNEW there was something I was forgetting to do.
(Continuity? In my CrustaceanSingles? It's more likely than you think! See Tuesday's comic for the start of this arc.)

Small differences

Panel 1: a stick figure smiles with hands on hips and says, "Of *course* I'll come to your show! I wouldn't miss it for the world!" Panel 2: same figure now has one hand on their chin, contemplatively: "A slightly better world, maybe, but not this one."

Snowflesh

It's a rerun from 2017.

I used to be so much wordier.

A very different group

There's still plenty of work to be done.

"Best-case scenario, you end up like me: see the universe, go mad from the knowledge of it, levitate above a mountaintop to warn new seekers...hardly a fun time, but it goes much worse for most people."
