The dialectical struggle of history has always, essentially, been a question of how to apply justice to matter. Take away matter and what remains is justice.

Someone (Bill?) has made some, uh, interesting decisions on who to invite to this funeral

...and one really good call on who not to invite! Not that it mattered!

Gob adressed that in the comments

quote:

Nah, the actual 50 things don’t even exist lol. She just imagined her dad in that moment and what he might say, sorta manifested subconsciously by some general icky feelings. Her “dad” in this situation is just loving with her head to make her feel lovely. But really it’s just her head loving with itself. I think Pasq tries really hard to be “accepting” and “encouraging” of Ally x Tubsy, but really she just misses Ally and Tubsy as separate buddies rather than a lovey dovey smoochy couple.


On the other hand, death of the author / Maybe Josef wrote that part.

Brains is also jackass traitors sometimes. When I was a kid I used to think about Nazis for no good reason, I guess you could call it an intrusive thought but when I say "think about Nazis" I mean "a man in a SS uniform doing a stupid walking march like from Monty Python" and my brain would be like "you think about Nazis more than the average person and that makes you a bad person, a good person would never think about Nazis!" Trauma, puberty and depression can just be a hell of a rude thing for your mind and self-image.

Nah actually that line was me. Josef has been encouraging me to "Dad "Dad's" dialogue up." I just try to make him as lovely as I can in a hopefully over-the-top silly way.

It's pretty much this, haha. Intrusive thoughts and all that jazz. It didn't dawn on me that people might think Pasq actually has racist thoughts until I saw a few comments. My bad. Pasq does her best not to be racist, I assure you folks.

Making dad over-the-top is good instinct though. If he were too real he'd be unreadable. I guess the difficulty is that reality can be ridiculous, so you try to write something preposterous and land squarely on bean dad or some hosed up historical court case no one even remembers. Or just some commenter's evil grandpa.

racist intrusive thoughts are def a thing brains do sometimes. probably because we've seen the pattern of others being racist before? I'm not brain scientist. the important part is to recognize them and go no brain, don't be a jerk. thoughts are not actions or beliefs, they just kind of do their own unwise thing sometimes.

Well, so much for that theory - at least, if Obtusangelo's perception of good and evil is anything recognizable.
That aside holy crap his eyes are horrifying.



Also this particular strip's title kicks rear end.
