I don't know if I qualify as a purist but I wouldn't have any problem with someone reading digital comics. Hell, I could even see some benefits to the digital format (glances back at the Great Wall of China, in short boxes), but for me, going to the comic store on Fridays is just such an ingrained behavior.
I love both Saga and Black Science, and I have also enjoyed another Image title called East of West.

That's really cool. Surprisingly, I don't think I've ever seen a grand piano on the Great Wall of China before.

"they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again."

That sure sounds like an agreement to never see each other again, to me. Hell, that's what the frikkin sentence SAYS... If that wasn't the case, the fault for my misinterpretation has to lie pretty heavily on the writer of that sentence.

I'm not sure what else one would expect from a couple of professional (melo)drama queens...

"When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again." Who in their right mind lives their life this way? And then violates the agreement in public, without warning?

I'm very happy you liked it. I almost deleted that post because I was afraid the whole thing was too pompous. But I figured, ultimately, who could argue with the sentiment..."Garfield" really was a horrible film.

Put a thousand fruit flies in a box and you can watch the entire circle of life, played out in multiple generations, in a matter of days.
Now, stand back far enough to view the entirety of human existence in one box and the objective eye will discern no greater purpose than the fruit fly. We live, we reproduce, we die. All of human evolution and technical advancement bent to the simple purpose of continuing to exist.

We are ultimately seperated from the fruit fly by one thing; a simple question,
"Why?"

The contemplation of our own mortality is undoubtedly the single factor that has inspired us to become more than the sum of our individual lives. The yearning to outlive ourselves, to defy the inherent pointlessness of existence, to deny the emptiness of the void that precedes us and remains, undisturbed, after we're gone. The human defiance of the finity and futility of life drives the greatest achievements of our species.

Humanity, alone among the animals of the earth, has taken the gifts of evolution and harnessed them to scream its answer to the empty cosmos with soul wrenching achievements of art and philosophy. Those creations of mankind that we experience as a feeling, rising up from inside us and overwhelming our minds with a beauty and perfection far greater than ourselves.

The great accomplishments of mankind that elevate the purpose of our existence:
The philosophy of Aristotle
The architecture of Angkor Wat and St. Peter's Basilica
The art and discovery of Leonardo Da Vinci
The grandeur of the Sistine Chapel and the humble beauty of Van Gogh
The feets of engineering; the great wall of china and Apollo moon landing
All the great works of the most inspired among us, who could encapsulate beauty, wonder, humor and tragedy into discrete works of brilliance:

Shakespeare, Sophocles, Mark Twain, Hemingway, Kepler, Gödel, Newton, Hippocrates, Bach, Wagner, Coltrane, Hume, Kant, Descartes, Tesla, Gutenberg, Frank Lloyd Wright...
...and Bill Murray.

Except for his work on Garfield.
That movie was fucking horrible.


My life is better for having read that comment.

Stupid host, you can see the great barrier reef from space, just because the great wall of china is long doesn't mean you can see it from space. At least not with the naked eye..

Wow and they didn't even get an eviction notice. It's really weird for them to compare it to the great wall of China. This amazing Dynasty and then you realize that they just poured concrete throughout the entire thing killing all the citizens.


I'm glad someone else saw that as well. Haha! It is amazing to see this, but yeah... O' the naïveté of man.

I'm an American. I studied French, and currently study Mandarin Chinese. While hiking for 10 miles along the Great Wall of China, I encountered a group of 4 French college students. I said hello in French. They asked, "Are you American?" When I said yes, they said, "I thought so. We could tell by your accent." And turned away and snubbed me.
What? I went to the effort of learning your fucking language, and even spoke it to you in China of all places, and you hate on me because I'm American? I think the problem is in Europe, not America.


Are you basing your views of Europe solely on 4 French students that you met one time in china?
