-David Berman So party hard and pray for the end of the world?  In context, he was commenting on politically-motivated works of fiction. A story can be made to support anything. He wasn't saying that the story should've ended there, only that if it had the moral would've been entirely different.

 Re: Web comic panels
Right. All stories are lies. They are made up. Even ones that deal with 'actual events'. That doesn't make them bad. Just not 'true' in a specific sense. And as such, stories cannot prove morals or points. They can only illuminate them.

I saw this many moons ago, but I didn't know that it came from GunnerKrigg Court (started reading from page 1.)
