wondermark

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2011.01.10

For quite some time, I've been reading this brilliant web comics called Wondermark. It's among the best of what's out there.

Then I came across episode 675, and envisioned my own ending that I think works better. The fellow who memorizes wikipedia doesn't need a line in the last panel. He just needs to stand there seeing the lune off. It's like that reworking of Garfield that came out a few years ago, where the eternal Garfield strip was made readable by removing the text from one or more frames. Only, in this case the original is still amazing and not dreck.

If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.
