    It’s really funny to see a bunch of terminal online people to one-up each other about how much they know about duck penises.

    The comic is nice.

    People wishing to be one with nature don’t ever seem to realize that nature is brutal and horrific just as much as it is peaceful and serene. If anything it is more the former.

      That was my reaction. You could compare isolated moments from any two lives so one looks blissful and the other looks horrible.

      Yeah fuck nature. Domesticated cat is the sweet spot.

      Outside free to roam a fairly safe territory and then snuggles and guaranteed food and shelter pretty much on command.

      Ditto dog, but they’ve got a slightly less sweet deal.

      At least the animals are just trying to survive and procreate, rather than hoard more wealth than they can consume in a lifetime.

          Me too! I mean, I wouldn’t be able to have any hoarded wealth even If I wanted to, so at least I don’t want it, so it’s fine

        I often hear people complain that billionaires could never actually use all their wealth. The hoarding of the wealth for their “use” was never the point though.

        Its all a game of power, influence, and leverage over other people. If you have more money than someone else, you get the ability to bully them. So for a billionaire, you want more money than the other billionaires. You also want to deprive poor and middle class people of wealth so they have even less leverage and are more desperate than they would be if you simply had a lot of money, and not all of the money.

        You can get a starving homeless person to do a lot more for you with an offer of cheap gruel than you can a contented peasant with a solid gold bar.

          Huh, am I the contented peasant, largely by refusing to accept the bullshit of consumerism?

          It seems like I really dont need much money to be happy

            Very few people realize how much we can impact the system if we all just rejected most things it offers us and lived the simplest life we could

              The awesome thing about it is that it saves so much money, eliminates a lot of sources of stress, frees time and energy. You could cut back on work hours or retire earlier too!

              Honestly think we should be pushing more for a 4 hour work week too.

    Ducks are pretty brutal to each other, worse than chickens even.

    I’d be horrified, but maybe this guy is into it

      You gotta wonder what fucked up stuff he did during his human life, to get reincarnated as one of the animal kingdom’s foremost rapists…

        We had ducks when I was a kid, I know all about it.

        They may be cute, but they are horrible creatures and I don’t feel bad for eating them. Fuck you, ducks. Little assholes

    Fucking love everything about this comic. And I’m sad that I can’t find an RSS feed of the artist’s content without looking to shitty social media platforms.

      When I was a kid I was horrified by the idea of oblivion; just one day your body is too worn out to ever let you wake up again and you just don’t, no dreams, no fate, no long tunnel of light. Not even sitting around waiting for something, but going back to the place I was for all the thousands of years before I was born; not being at all.

      I swear, the older I get the more and more attractive that idea sounds, and the horror is the idea of ever having to do this again.

    You want to be reincarnated as an Epcot duck. Sure, there are fireworks every night, but other than that, it is easy, fat, living.
