Comment on Jack’s Willy. by Old Prof. Otter

Some of us feel that an unblown mind is a problem.
Some of us like ‘boiling lead poured into our brains’.
Many survived the late 60’s with something like that more or less. Me, much less.
R.Crumb, Robert Anton Wilson, others have done shock and psychodrama.
Jack does take it over the top.
And the WO does nail the flaws of Jack well.
But no one is addressing the reason why so many web artists know Jack.
And why if you check the comments, the writer/artist has said that many have found hope in his comic.
It is about the possibility of hope even in Hell, and about redemption.
There is a certain shock to describing Hell in Hellish detail.
I think that you need to find the attraction, then dissect that.

Actually you missed a quiet point about K&K.
It took me a while to understand.
In that universe, everything is intelligent.
Most hygienic procedures involve killing huge numbers of intelligent critters.
The whole intelligent kill thing is irrelevant in that universe.
Murder is defined as killing someone for a purpose other than food or hygiene,
especially if you know that person. Kell has gotten away with murder once:
Jerry Springer Spaniel.

Please disregard my earlier statement, as I quite obviously had no idea what I was talking about.

Actually, after a year to think about it, I realize that I am a huge butthurt faggot and that you were right to begin with.

Have you ever read Ishmael by Daniel Quinn? It’s a fictional philosophical book that essentially espouses the idea that that sort of society is best, with humans living in a more naturalistic manner. It’s really stupid and falls apart under a moment’s scrutiny, but it’s still a really good book because it forces you to shift your paradigm regarding environmentalism, if only for a little while.

Enjoy the comic, by the by.

Awesome. She is a whiny bitch.

There’s barely any point to the original comic.

[...] Sessions cries himself to sleep every night, knowing this to be true. In fact, he has now turned on what he once believed. Video games will never be able to hold the same level of self-righteousness [...]

[...] is daunting for even the most ironclad of stomachs. Before going on hiatus, Reconstructing Comics had considered mocking it, yet the content was so maddeningly distasteful that she opted to joke about a less offensive (yet [...]
