0068 - Why do we have to go to school? - 2019.01.21 |

Comment: Of course, the real answer is that, without a physical school, this comic would be still be Lee in their purple apartment, interacting with digital thoughtbubbles, and that's kinda visually boring. Also, keeping Lee in their comfort zone away from other people is a much less interesting story. That's the thing about stories - Bilbo may have had every reason to stay in Bag End, and may have frequently regretted and lamented his decision to go adventuring, but without conflict and adversity and change, The Hobbit isn't worth reading. I suppose the real challenge for me, as an authour, is showing a character who is so comfortable that being asked to audit a single college course for free constitutes a perilous hardship. But, of course, everything is relative. The goldfish always grows to fit the size of its tank. We, as human beings, are built to be dissatisfied. The decreasing returns of pleasure and comfort are meant to drive us forward. Sometimes we just need a wizard or a sex droid to give us a little push, that's all. |
