You can certainly tell the dreamers from the cynics in these comments. Serendipitous moments are few and far between for me, but I love it when they happen.
Notice that he’s left his car parked in the middle of the lane … on the LEFT (oncoming!) side of the road. And no, it’s not in Britain. The car seems to be a left-hand drive …
So he’s off to find – what? That’s the basis of serendipity : “the faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for” (Merriam-Webster).

Serendipity: making pleasant discoveries by accident. Recognizing serendipity: the hard part of the last 2+ years.

Age and treachery will overcome youth and skill. But luck will always trump them all. Luck is a superpower; probably the most underrated one.

Maybe he simply has to take a whiz and it is miles to the next rest stop.

Why is the road to serendipity paved with asphalt?

What would he do if he retired? Now he gets to go fishing with Eddie. Travel into outer space with Lars. And be anarchist with the girls.

If serendipity was so great, there would be lots more cars parked there
morningglory73 Premium Member over 2 years ago
Where is that road at? I’d like to find it unless I have to die first to travel it. (sigh) I’ll just keep driving.

Not specifically to do with the comic but when I saw the car parked and the guy running into the woods my first thought was Ukriane…

If you expect something fortunate lies ahead it’s no longer serendipitous.

Hmmm. I still wonder if this is a sign placed by the bears.

Did anyone else spend a whole minute searching that pic for Wiley Bears?

You know, every time I see a highway sign that says “Pass with caution“, I wonder whether there’s a sign somewhere that says “Pass with abandon”.

Serendipity is finding things you weren’t looking for because finding what you are looking for is pretty hard.

That’s the way I feel every time I go the the Great Bear Rainforest.
