And they lived to 90, not a bad run.

All humans are dead, that's why the air is clean.

If all humans are dead then who buried him and placed the tombstone there? Check mate atheists.

[-] oce@jlai.lu 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

As one of the last humans, he was taking care of all the dogs and trained them to burry him when he died. He created the tomb in advance and a machine to engrave the last digits when his heart beat stops.

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Don't even need the engraving machine. He could've started dying early in the year and figured he could call it.

[-] oce@jlai.lu 4 points 11 months ago

What if he starts declining in December.

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Seems like a safe bet for the following year. Don't think it matters much to him either way.

Since plastic was already everywhere, we collected it, made it white and covered huge areas with it to reflect more sunlight. Great idea, didn't backfire at all.

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago

Uh, that's nuclear fallout

[-] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 3 points 11 months ago

That's what killed them

The look on death's face.

sometimes i just wanna believe

Maaan, I just don't understand that comic; somebody care to explain?

Is Death disappointed because the green guy is not interested in his own grave but more about the future achievements and what society did in the meantime? Or the disrespect for having lived 90 years? Is that the correlation to Solar Punk?

Because I excluded some things already:

  • someone dug a grave for him, so someone is/was alive and cared enough to do so and even knew his birthday
  • snow is cold so it cannot be fallout; some hyphotesized below
  • wind turbines are still turning and are not damaged or worn down

I think you're looking too deep. The ghost of Christmas future shows you how unimportant you are, but the character doesn't care since the world is better than expected.

[-] neonred@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Then why is the ghost disappointed/confused in the last panel, if his mission was to show how unimportant the green guy is and then the green guy does exactly that by marvelling about the future and not about the self-importance.

And maybe one of the downvoters can exlain it all to me when they're so dismissive?

[-] technomad@slrpnk.net 1 points 11 months ago

If we're being pedantic here, how can you tell the 'ghost' is 'disappointed/confused'?

[-] neonred@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Fair. How do you interpret the mimics of something that has no face?

So I took the approach of "looks emotionless at green guy" as in "is unsure about what to make of this situation" and therefore "is confused / thinking about an approach".

His pointing finger is also pointing lower than in the panel before, as in "loses tension" as in "is not pointing anymore but just left in the previous position" therefore the mental focus changed from pointing at / highlighting something to a different aspect, which, in combination with the first paragraph, makes me interpret the panel as "confused / distracted"

[-] technomad@slrpnk.net 2 points 11 months ago

Good catch on the finger difference. That's a subtle detail. I'd say your interpretation is a good one, albeit subjective because of the part about being "emotionless." Intuition and inference are not absolutes, and at this point I'm really just being difficult for the sake of the argument. :P

(Notice in the first panel that two of the green guy's fingers are orange? What's up with that?)

[-] neonred@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I noticed that, it's not too uncommon for these small errors to sneak in ¯\(ツ)/¯ but the intention of the comic should work

[-] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 6 points 11 months ago

The hidden panel is even better

[-] technomad@slrpnk.net 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

You'll need to go to the official webpage for the comic to find it

[-] Nacktmull@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago
