Metaphor
🕑 Added 2022-11-14 18:06:27 +0000 UTC
I've had this comic lying around for years, I see it every time I flip through my ideas folder. I've never committed and made it into a full comic because I don't think it really means anything, haha. Maybe that's meta enough to make it interesting? I'm not convinced.
The thing about keeping vague ideas around forever is that I lose what my intention was when I first thought of it. I think I may have been toying with instances of obvious metaphor going over people's heads / those old school political newspaper comics where every object is labeled as the thing it is meant to represent, which I always found so endearingly silly.
Original speech bubble for panel 4 was "metaphor", which makes even less sense?

I'd seriously ADORE a shirt with that last image on it. It says SO MUCH.

somehow this speaks to me - maybe after a cup of coffee i'll actually have words to describe the thoughts.... along the lines of: the birds in these comics are usually unaware of the message, they are just the vehicle for it. so, maybe, this one is so simple it's absurdly poignant. maybe i should just eat some moldy berries and fly around in circles...

Weirdly relatable somehow...?

This one gave me a good chuckle :)

I think your first idea of having "metaphor" in the 4th panel was better. Just my opinion, of course. And it's always good news to see the "Patreon" symbol in my notifications!

I love this very much 🥹💗😂

I'd love the original "metaphor bubble" end but "I don't get it" is much funnier xD

The fact that the bird is made up of "metaphor" at the end...? Genius! It makes his comment even better
