| − | This comic is mocking the optimism of people in a satirical way. The boy in the barrel has nothing to eat, drink or no way or sustenance. Yet he only wonders 'I wonders where I will go next' Munroe also makes an oblique reference to how we often become so much more optimistic even in our lives

Revision as of 17:26, 21 September 2012
Just to let you know, even before this upatde I was making a comic that needed a bus as public transportation, and since there were no decent shapes to use, I made my own bus from things from the props section. It actually looked pretty real if you play with the colours a bit.Tip: The oranges/cookies/hockey pucks could be used as wheels on a bus!
