BUT WHY ARE THEY ON THE ISLAND?

I think part of the way it's structured like this is to add to the comic. I think it's supposed to be slightly confusing, lending to the idea that we don't always know why people act the way they do.

Billions of experiences, people, and situations interact everyday to create our individual personalities.

Reminds me of Chris Ware, in that it has a complex structure and makes me want to kill myself.

The most heart-wrenching thing about this is that I had a mate named Lucas Pearson who passed away about a year and a half ago, so I reached the end of this comic, looked at the last panel, and had a bloody heart attack.

Thanks for the fucking depressing emotional double hit, Reddit. Fuck.

I really like this. What are some other contemporary artists/works that deal with similar real-life issues in comic book/graphic novel form?

Okay, I had to type it out to understand what the hell is happening, I'll leave this here just in case it helps anyone.

The Dick is mean to Nice Guy in the first scene. The Dick eventually is a sweet old guy and has a Grand-Daughter.

The Grand-Daughter grows up and is grouchy and is divorced(?) and has a Blonde Daughter.

Blonde Daughter eventually goes to school with a redhead and a smart tan girl(?). The redhead thinks the Tan girl is gonna be more successful than her.

Tan girl grows up to work at McDonalds and sees some selfish Pakistani on a bus, but actually that dude is just nervous.

And that Pakistani dude is gay! And has a blonde lover! Blonde lover grew up with a Dad that told him never to mix with Pakistanis.

The Dad hates Pakistanis because he had a friend, who was a girl, when he was a kid who was pakistani...and one time they played and then left school(?).

Pakistani GirlFriend was walking with her Pakistani Mom and they saw a crying white boy.(?)

Crying Boy's dad is the nice guy from the first scene. Nice Guy became a drunk and got punched in the face.

So... I dunno... are all the blonde people related? WTF is the point of that redhead other than to be all "Hey don't worry sometimes smart people fuck up and work and McDonald's"? Why does the Dad hate Pakis, really - I mean, they played together in pre-K and then it shows them going home... 'cuz school is over. Is the Pakistani Mom someone I should know? Wait! There's only one pakistani family so the gay dude is the son of the little pakistani girl? Who the fuck is Jen? The redhead? No - that's like 30 years away - WTF!!!

I'm pretty sure the message in this story could have been gotten across with a not-so confusing timeline. Or at least without so much time skipping... But you know what, this guy can draw, and he did, this guy can come up with a story concept, commit to it, and get it out there for other people to see. So I respect that and hope he makes more.

Oh wow, after 4 read-throughs and examining the 2 helpful links, this finally makes sense.

Its just showing how people are connected through their everyday encounters. Kind of like the 6 degrees of separation theory. Theres no real punchline to get, just that the relations/encounters go in a loop

I'm going to upvote because I know it's brilliant but I can't fully explain why it's brilliant. I've a feeling I'd need to be a Timelord to get the jist of it.

I'll explain it the best I can. With pornstars.

Peter North walks down the street and is taunted by John Holmes. Now John Holmes grows up and raises his daughter Lexi Belle. Lexi grows up and raises her own daughter Brynn Tyler. Brynn Tyler is jealous of her sex buddy, Pamela Anderson, because she is better in every way.

Brynn Tyler grows up and googles Pamela Anderson and finds out her boobs have gotten flabby and she works at a fast food restaurant.

Now, Pamela Anderson is riding a bus. Since her pussy has dried up, she gets mad at every hot dude she sees, so she scorns a fellow busgoer who hesitates in giving his seat to an old lady.

Turns out that Busgoer is homosex and Pakistani, some pornstar you've never heard of. Now Mr. Homosex has a teenage partner, and for legal reasons I can't reveal his name.

When his partner was a kid, he was forbidden to talk to Pakistanis by his dad. However, his dad only forbades him because he himself was cockblocked from his own Pakistani vixen.

Pakistani girl walks down the street and sees a sad Ron Jeremy. Despite having a large cock, he has trouble with the ladies for some reason. His dad, Peter North, is a washed up drunk. It then shows that moment he was taunted by John Holmes.

Moral of the story: Don't taunt a man because of his penis size.

         This comic reminds me of eclectic piece which is a homage to Raymond Carver's short stories. People who were destined to become successful eventually ended up working at a dead end job due to having children. A person who was once good ended up becoming a drunk raising a sensitive child that is feared by his father. A boy who is now gay due to his resentment towards his father ended up having relationship with a certain ethnic minority that his father hate which he once loved. A granddaughter of an elderly man grew up to be a very unhappy mother probably raised by unhappy parents that was raised by an elderly man who was once an arrogant person which was chiseled away by many misfortunate events which shaped him up to become a better person.
