So the afterlife is a bottle of soda. Let’s hope he doesn’t shake things up too much.
All those little CO2 bubbles. A veritable carbon nation.
WAIT – RABBIT WAS GONNA PROPOSE TO BANDIT??!!
From my understanding those bubbles are about reward/punishment, not about things that would have happened. So Rabbit was probably head over heels in love with bandit and in his afterlife he imagines how it would’ve turned out had he proposed to her.
Could also just be a different gnome lady.
Don’t think they got to that point in life, but Rabbit is getting that future as his reward.
DAMN YOU, CULTISTS!!!
I mean, I’m shipping her with Tobias, but still.
Nice imagery.
Apparently the afterlife involves eating a lot of pie.
…I’m down with that.
The proverbial pie-in-the-sky.
It’s just to die for.
“When you die, if you get a choice between going to regular heaven or pie heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick, but if it’s not, mmmmmmmm, boy.” -Deep Thoughts with Jack Handy
Seriously. I now want to find pie heaven.
Oh hey, it’s Rachel!
. . . in absolutely none of those bubbles, ever.
She doesn’t have a “soul” that’s able to float around in bubble-land. The destructor beast consumed it. By deleting it off the server.
I believe that was the point being made.
I see Gravy’s trippin’ balls in a bubble bath again.
Too much “LDS” in the 60’s?
While you’re flying through that, be careful not to get a little heaven in your eye.
Makes you wonder in how many of those heaven bubbles they ended up buying the farm.
The panel with Rabbit, Lectrus, and Astoria, the other bubble… I initially thought the imprisoned person was Penk, and was worried I’d missed him getting killed after being lectured by Harky.
Shake a bottle
Don’t let your body waddle
Don’t act like a snobby model
You just hit the Lotto
While we’ve only seen a few bubbles, it’s interesting to me that the only gnome we see in one is apparently a heaven-illusion. Does the gnomish lack of a beleif in gods affect how they experience the afterlife? I wonder if they instead simply get a perspective of the world that shows the proverbial cogs underlying it.
I mean, we don’t see any avian’s bubbles either, but I’m guessing their heavens are mostly air stunts with a side of Fruit Loops advertisement.
OK, but seriously. Is it just me, or has Lectrus assigned himself the final scene of Time Enough at Last?
I was wondering the same thing!
Took me a bit to realize what was happening with his cracked glasses, but that was where my mind went when I worked it out.
Oh very cool. I think a similar idea was used in the Discworld series, where you get the fate you believe you deserve? It seems like a very contemporary idea, one that rejects objective moralities in favor of personal ones. I’d be very interested to know how the authors chose this model because I think it’s perfectly appropriate for a story that attempts to tell every side.
What I think is even more interesting is that this “eternity” you give yourself is actually quite finite, and leaves the reader with some idea of an ultimate justice. Justice according to whom, or what system is another question. It is both comforting and fear inducing. That a genocidal fascist dictator could imagine themselves into a heaven bubble based on their personal philosophy troubled me greatly until I noticed the bubbles floating towards one of three swirly portals. What a rude awakening that would be. But it still leaves the question of what moral system governs those portals. And why would we assume they are a true final destination and not just one more doorway on a path that never ends?
“an arch wherethrough
Gleams that untravelled world, whose margin fades
For ever and for ever when I move.”
The farther you travel, the more you realize there is yet to see.
I assume each of those portals represents a different destination for those bubbles.
That’s, uh… that’s a hell of an eschatology you’ve got there, Gravy.
Stupid question: why is Hurricane Software keeping the 5 in tubes a secret to begin with?
There is money to be made in a reality show.
I’m questioning the motives for killing people over the whole thing.
Because they can’t get them out.
For all intents and purposes the 5 who went in the tubes are dead. Maybe they can be brought back. The only one who would know is HR. The PR alone could destroy the company.
And now HR has actually murdered someone to cover it up. Murdered and sacrificed them in a magic ritual. And Carol has been complicit in all of it.
Five or six lives versus billions of dollars and jail time.
You know, that could still make for an entertaining show. Besides, didn’t the five sign liability waivers?
They had liability waivers, didn’t they? Does Hurricane Software have a legal department? Or have they…
… pin drop…
… outsourced it?
When did Astoria die if these are suppose to heaven/hell bubbles? I looked back at all the pages she was in but…it never seems like she actually died or anything.
It seems like it was during the Berserk outbreak. This page seems to reference it a bit.
http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-37-page-8/
It looks like Astoria gets infected here: http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-36-page-32/
Gets shot here: http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-36-page-36/
And makes her last (physical) appearance here: http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-36-page-39/
I’m guessing that she didn’t survive her wounds. :(
She did not.
Balls, balls, balls.
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
So we now know that Lectrus is dead. Although we still don’t know how or why or what happened with him.
He brought a lamp to a berzerker fight.
Welp. In MY bubble, there will be lots of pipe smoking without all the coughing and a comfortable armchair.
What? I’m old. You learn to cerish those things at some point.
