Well done. I never noticed before, but you never argue with a comic strip, but they make you think deep thoughts, while if a person said anything of the sort, you’d laugh at them. The best part is that I actually talk like this, and people believe me!
You are right that by some definitions of arguing I don’t really do that with my comics. However, my comics do sometimes support a particular conclusion.
Very nice. It reflects something I’ve noted: that logic is a rhetorical device, not a tool for teasing out the truth, in the hands of people with something to prove.
I agree that bad logic is not the best tool for arriving at truth. However, because one can sometimes be tricked by bad logic it doesn’t seem to follow that proper logic is useless.
oo i dont understand any of it well a little put im only 15 lmao not too much going on in the brain space for me to comprehend all of that and i probally spelled that wrong but even tho i cant understand i like it for some reason lol

I just stumbled across your site. Great comics. And the possibility for discussion. Have you published them all as an introductory philosophy text?

Thank you. I’m glad to hear of another person who likes the comics.
I haven’t really considered publishing my comics in print form. However, maybe I should. I’m flattered that you think it would be useful to people.
