    This has been me most of this week. Just buried in as much distraction as possible.

    That’s exactly what he should do. He can’t control the world ending, but he can control his own happiness

    Of course you would turn to the comics. They are right there and it might be your last chance to read them.

    The most realistic portrayal of a dystopia.

    Imagine if you could vote to stop the meteor but choose to stay home and read the comics instead.

      I voted to stop the meteor. Now I’m reading comics.

        That’s understandable and not implied by the comic, so you’re not targeted by my joke.

        I hear the meteor has a lot of palladium, which should help our economy.

      The meteor and global warming are both the same, still trying to kill people. I will vote third-party for world peace instead.

        A vote for a third party under FPTP is mathematically a vote against the party closest to your values. If you live in the US, that means you vote(d) against the Democratic Party and for the Republican Party.

        I too long for a third party, but 2024 is not the time.

          Unfortunately, most people won’t understand this and still vote for third party even when third party will almost certainly never win, in the context of present day Murican politics.

              40% of people are voting to divert the meteor and 40% are voting to accelerate it towards us…

              Hmmm… I vote we change the moon’s orbit a bit. I’m a single-issue voter and neither plan really addresses the moon very well.

      I am trying the same thing, but politics somehow keeps coming up even amongst my ‘apolitical’ friends.

        Is this sarcastic where the ‘apolitical’ friends is not really apolitical but just labeled themselves as apolitical?

          Nail on the head. Worse yet, my more centrist friends basically cheered at trump’s win. Not so centrist I guess right? What happened to “both candidates are equally bad guys”?

    There’s a mass without roofs,

    A prison to fill

    A country soul

    That reads comics no bills

    A strike and a line of cops outside of the mill

    There’s the right to obey and the right to kill

    Tired of always the same doomsday news. Yees you got repeatedly a conviccted felon with ties to russia as president. Yees, Israel genocides and Russia does next stupid thing in Ukraine. Children are dying of hunger and celebrity X broke up with Y. Comics are fun.
