True, but I think this one conveys the message in a more powerful way, by keeping Camus' writing mood and subverting the target. It strikes me as particularly effective, as it hits the small residue cached belief about death I still have and somehow blows it up from the inside.
I wasn't trying to make you like it more than the one you posted, but I should have been.
Today's comic was preachy and a bit holey. 2719 was a great example of the medium--it made you laugh first, even if there's a chance it made you think. 2719 lacks the finality and seriousness that might give it holes as big.
Both good comics by any measure, though. Zach Weiner is really good at his job.
I have a soft spot for rhetoric sometimes :) This doesn't mean I didn't like the Sysyphus one, quite the opposite; today's one was just more effective on me.
