A comic strip from '08, back from the archives to share with those of you who missed it. It's timeless, really, anyways.

The Essence of Rigor - #12 (7-17-2008)
Another, decidedly different, hat is found on the ground. Hatless guy shouts "Hey my hat!" glasses guy responds "Wait a second. Is that the same hat we dropped?" Hatless guy dons the new hat. "Who cares?" "I do." Glasses guy retorts. "Your hat wasn't green before." "Oh yeah! It's even BETTER now!" "No, but... is it an entirely different hat or did your original hat change colors?" "Whatever the answer, we can certainly agree that the outcome of this experiment was positive." "But--" "This hat is improved!"

King Without a Crown - #11 (7-14-2008)
Hatless guy says "I really miss my hat." Glasses guy says "I really don't care." "Do you think it misses me?" "I don't see how it could." "I can't stand the thought of tears in its perfect eyes!" "Your personification is getting a little out of hand here." "All alone. If it's anything like you, it probably stripped down to the buck." "What? How would a hat undress?" "Slowly."

Cap au Abandonment - #10 (7-10-2008)
Glasses guy says "Now we leave your hat here and keep walking. If we come back around to it, we'll know we're stuck in some weird looping universe." Hatless guy responds "And if we don't?" "We'll know we're actually making progress." "But what if someone steals my hat?" "Who's going to steal your hat?" hatless guy agitatedly points. "That guy!" "You're pointing at your hat." "I don't trust 'im!"

We have to burn it - #9 (7-7-2008)
Glasses guy says "C'mon, give me your hat. For science!" To which hat guy rebuffs "The hat never comes off!" while gesturing menacingly with his hat. He realizes his folly and says "Oh." Glasses guy slaps the hat out of his hand, to which hatless guy concedes, "Oh."

Donut Eat Universe - #8 (7-3-2008)
Glasses guy says "What if we're in a universe that repeats every ten feet?" Hat guy replies "What if?" "We could be covering the same ground over and over again." "We could." "We should try an experiment." "We should." "Gimme your hat." "Go to hell."

It’s Still Exercise - #7 (6-30-2008)
Hat guy says "Let's get moving." Glasses guy says "Alright." They start walking. They walk some more. They walk while looking around confused. Glasses guy interjects; "Are we moving or walking in place?" Hat guy responds "I can't tell because of all the nothing."

Marat's bathing - #6 (6-23-2023)
Glasses guy says "Great, we're dressed. Now what?" to which hat guy responds "Let's figure out where we are." "Fine. How do we do that?" "We walk." "Walk where?" "Unnuh... north?" hat guy suggests with a shrug. "Which way is that?" glasses guy retorts. "Luckily, I always carry a compass." "Really?" "No, that would be stupid." hat guy admonishes, with the addendum "except for now, when it wouldn't be."

Shirt…goes…down - #5 (6/23/08)
The second gentleman (let's just call him hat guy) is really focusing on putting on his shirt. The first man (how about glasses guy) is sighing. Hat guy assures him "Hey, you don't have to dress just because I am." to which glasses guy responds "No, no. That's fine." Hat guy reassures, "Seriously. I'm 50% of the population, but that's not a majority. Buck it out if you like." "I said it's fine, don't worry about it." "It just seems that-" Glasses guy interrupts "I obviously have staggeringly low self-esteem which leaves me open to normative social influence. Let's drop it!" he pauses. "Unless you don't want to!"

You can’t hug a child with nuclear pants - #4 (6/19/08)
The newer man begins putting on his pants, saying "Well, I'm going to get dressed." To which the first man screams NOOOO!! "Don't ruin this! We have a chance to start over! TO make a perfect pantsless society! We'll be the rulers! The kings! THE RULERS OF KINGS!" while shaking his pants menacingly. Of course, the other man responds with "I believe you're severely mistaking the menace of your dungarees."

Easing the Tension - #2 (6/12/08)
First man standing proudly in his undies. Suddenly, a second man is there, clothed, asking "Why are you in the buck?" to the first man's surprise, he says WAUGH!. They have an awkward stare, but in the end, the other man joins him in his buckness.

This Is Where You Start - #1 (6/8/08)
A man stands alone in a white void. "Hello...?" he says to no response. To himself, he says "Hmm... all alone..." and begins to... disrobe?
