    I like these comics bc they’re surreal. Why is the kid talking about puppets? Why is the old man looking up? Are the all puppets in the hands of an angry god? Is the old man in the chair seeing Cthulhu-like eldritch abominations using inner vision? Is the old man in the kitchen about to feed them all poison because they are cult members and they want to join the Space People in a flying saucer and thus escape the Cycle of Puppethood? None of these interpretations are “funny”, but they’re interesting to think about.

    (If you don’t like them that’s OK, I’m not trying to convince you otherwise, I’m just explaining why I like them.)
