<title>Traumatic</title>
<description><![CDATA[ Don't worry (or worry, whichever), she'll get her hair trimmed by a professional in time for her next appearance.

 The real-life counterpart of Ponyboy has a name that starts with a P, and ends with a "man". I was originally going to go with something like Peter or something, but then I saw my brother's copy of the "Outsiders" and I just couldn't resist.

 Oh btw, in real life, he DID say "dramatic". I miss-heard him... and thought it was funnier this way.]]></description>

<title> First half of Pharmenides' argument on non-existant beings.</title>
<description><![CDATA[ Merry Christmas, y'all!


 Pharmenides is seriously the most interesting Philosopher I've had the pleasure of studying. He had some wacky ideas.

 This is the argument in the comic so far:

1)  A necessary condition of making meaningful claims and having coherent thoughts about objective reality is that some of the terms or words in those claims and thoughts refer to something objectively real.
2)  But then it is hard to see how negative existentials (claiming which deny the existence of something, e.g., "Santa Clause does not exist") could be meaningful.
3)  For if such a sentence is really true then what am I talking about (i.e., to what does the term "Santa Clause" refer?)? Apparently nothing! Hence, I am talking and thinking about nothing.

However, there are more to this argument than this:

4)  But it seems that there is no difference between thinking/talking about nothing and not thinking/talking meaningfully talking at all.
5)  Thus, if such a sentence is true then it cannot be meaningful. But if it cannot be meaningful then it cannot be either true nor false.
6)  Thus, if such a sentence is true it cannot be true.
7)  Thus, such a sentence cannot be true. Yet clearly it is meaningful. Thus, it must be false.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
8)  Thus, in some important sense, things such as Santa Clause, Superman, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, etc. must be objectively real!


Thus, the insensitive guy in this comic actually PROVED the existance of Santa Clause! So if you say ANYTHING about Santa (even in denial of his existance), you prove his existance. So, I hope you've been nice this year!]]></description>

<title>And... we're back!</title>
<description><![CDATA[ Now how many of you thought I'd do the clichèed you-missed-out-on-the-meaning-of-life-segment-because-of-my-vanity bit? ;) I don't like using clichès though I'm aware I use them quite a bit. Hopefully, today's one is a nice twist to the old tired joke.

 In other news, we're back. While putting up finishing touches, I thought about changing the "artist" to "cartoonist" because I both write and draw my cartoons... I don't know why I didn't. must have had a brain-lapse or something.

 So in the next update, Mary Sue will get a hair-cut.]]></description>
