A Softer World

[osprey_archer]

Does anyone read A Softer World? I've seen it linked around a few places, but I always seemed to hit on the endless zombie entries (lots of zombie entries. I am so tired of zombies. They just won't die), or the peculiar stalking entries, or the nihilist suicide strips.

But yesterday I ended up going through the whole archive (yes, I need to get a life), and there's also some great stuff in there. This one made my giggle: I am the fluffy singularity. Yay cats! And I liked this one very much.

This is my favorite:



Possibly this should be my new motto.

It is nihilist, but while "We're all going to die" is maybe a little depressing, it's also undeniably true. Sometimes we need memento mori in our lives to get us up off the couch and doing.

It's the "We're all going to die. Suicide just makes it happen faster" strips that strike me, as, well, really a little unhealthy? Not so much on an individual level, but the sheer cumulative weight of so many strips about suicide. Like, if one of my friends started writing that much suicide poetry, even if she was also writing lots of other stuff, I would be concerned about her.

Yeah, he definitely has a dark streak to him. I prefer the humorous ones, or the ones like the one you've chosen here.
