Andertoons by Mark Anderson for December 16, 2023

It’s like “Lord of the Rings” without the Ring.

But World Building IS the plot, is it not?!

Early graphic novel.

I’ve fallen into that problem at times

Interpersonal interactions trend clumsy, brutal or short. These people have no idea what to do in this glorious world I’ve built for them. There’s a parable in there somewhere. You want meaning? Make stuff, not war.

And shortly thereafter, the first art critic emerged (urinates on cave painting).

Thank you, Mel Brooks.

Too many characters

Now, now. Mammut hunting, herding sheep, taming horses and inventing the wheel isn’t enough of a plot?
