That sad hand is the best thing I've seen in a webcomic for a long time, thank you. It's perfect
The form factor on the hand alone is good enough, the face makes it exquisite.
My cat walks past specifically to get scratches
At first I thought it was a buttplug... which raised more questions.
Cat: ( x )•w•
It's a critical artistic necessity 😼
Apparently cats can go in and out of the Backrooms at will.
I get so offended when they dip out on me :(
Fantastic. I like the way you took advantage of the comic strip medium to turn a quirky cat thing into an interdimensional revelation.
Why do you sound like AI?
I promise you, I'm not.
I've been accused of "being AI" before, but I hate AI and never use it if I can avoid it.
I write in a dorky, earnest style with big words. A lot of early Internet users write that way. AI was probably trained on such writings. Therefore, people who write like old internet nerds tend to sound like the AI that scoured their forum postings for inspiration. That is my theory, at least.
Also, I went to art school, so I can talk about shit in a pretentious way.
It makes me sad that people are accused of using AI when in reality they are just mega dorks like me.
And if you don't believe me about beinf human, check out my recent posts I guess.
Ngl the original comment read as pretty sarcastic. Also, OP transparently isn't the creator, so it's a bit weird to address them directly when referring to the comic.
I figured it may be their own comic, and they were linking to their own page. Oh well
Uhmmmmm achtually, moving even a tiny bit in the axis of another spatial dimension would cause it to disappear entirely from our reality, or in this case the 2D reality of the comic. At most it would look as though the head and tail were disconnected. *pushes up glasses*
That does not need to be the case (seeing that you probably meant this in jest, I still will take it on). Assuming the cat is already a higher dimensional being, which I feel is valid as it can move between them.
Imagine a Cube going through a 2D plane. You would see a cross section of the cube depending on the angle it goes through. The same would be the case for a hypercube in 4D and 3D (different effect as different cross section though).
So I would argue the comic is correct.
Yeah it's a joke, it would all depend.
Can you imagine if you had a 4D cat and it just presented normally most of the time then one day rotated or moved along a 4D axis? It would be terrifying.
I've played 4D golf so I feel like I'm qualified as an expert in this space (seriously though great game and really helps with understanding this kind of stuff)
