2008-05-23: Cactus (crossing)
Philosophy
Am I a worm dreaming about a cactus, or a monster dreaming about a worm dreaming about a cactus?
This comic is in the storyline:
- Variations
A long-running series, maybe the crux of the site. Reader submits a suggestion, and I draw three comics based on that suggestion. Originally all three had to start the same, but it evolved.
This comic includes the contribution:
- Fritata Del Taco? suggested: Rabid is frightened and confused after a jostle with a flambuoyant Cactus.
Text transcript
Rabid: Ow! What a scary jerk! Came out of nowhere! Rabid: Hey lady! That cactus got me again. Rabish: Oh! You woke me up. I was having that strange dream... Rabish: I'm awake?! Rabid: Were you having that strange dream again? Rabish: Every time I have that dream it convinces me... maybe there's something more to it? Rabid: We should go see Dr Wormly! He'll know! Dr Quickly: Dimensional leakage, not dreams! Somehow you're managing to preserve continuity of consciousness. Very rare. Very interesting. Rabish: I haven't been sleeping at all? Rabish: That dream gets weirder every time.
