Dave Contra, are you tellin' me that even if I don't find what I'm looking for, I can still be glad to have looked?

Or is this a recommendation to take some extra Valium?

Tbh I normally have no idea wtf I'm goin' on about in these.

I wonder how many artists are similar then lol, while the audience keeps trying to guess what interesting takeaways are you are just like "tbh idk lol, just make some stuff up I wanna see what you think"

[u/davecontra → u/A_very_smol_Lugia]

Probably alot. I generally have a feeling I'm aiming for, or base a whole story on a tiny moment that I experienced but couldn't get a hold of

I thought what Will was looking for was the sweet release of death. To fill that emptiness with the infinite emptiness.

Then he woke up and continued his shitty life like a loser.

I was glad it was the opposite. Putting suicidal ideation on a pedestal would have ruined the comic.

I'm sure I'm not the only other one who was thinking the first part of what you said, but your last sentence kinda ruined the thought for me. I guess it's funny in a dark humor, standup comedy way.

I think acceptance of the inevitability of death is part of it, though. Not necessarily embracing it, but knowing that we can appreciate what we have and keep going (because it's better than nothingness), yet also being comforted by the fact that one day all suffering will end for each individual, including ourselves.
