Existential Comics

Took a poetry class in college. First day professor asks class when we read poetry. Someone raises their hand when he gives option of "for fun/to relax". "You read it to relax? are you crazy? Poetry is a bunch of work and not really that fun!" So yeah... I liked that class

That's okay. I'm very pretentious, love poetry, and can only really tolerate philosophy through your comics.
