+ | In this comic [[Cueball]] asks a friend if he wants to go to see the sunrise over the ocean. The friend refuses giving a list of excuses including the statement that "rationalizing the familiar is easy." This statement is amusing because the friend is acknowledging the fact that he is making excuses and seems to refuse going out on the basis that rationalizing going with Cueball to see the sunrise would be require much more effort. This comic criticizes people's tendency to not try new things or go out with friends even though they are likely to get more fulfillment these ways. | ||
