Philosophy Phriday, on a Monday

JMcAndrew sends this one in: “This one has me completely baffled. I guess this clown is filling up a plate with food before he intentionally slips on the banana peel and falls into the open grave? But Why?”

This is part of a set of cartoons by Edward Steed, with the title of Philosophy Illustrated: A Picture Book of Philosophical Terms. So, it’s intended as a humorous take on the philosophical concept of free will.

I must admit that I (ZBicyclist) find more than this one confusing.

On a lighter philosophical note: (these are not CIDUs)

Making an Impression

Usual John submitted this Lockhorns comic as a CIDU, asking: “Why would you get a “W” imprint from charging the net? Also, is there some significance to the doctor’s name, ‘H. Blog’ ?“

…
The word “charging” probably was supposed to mean that Leroy hit something that left an impression, but just like Usual John, I cannot think of anything on a basketball court (let alone a net) that would produce such a mark. In addition, even if there were something that would have done so, the image of the “W” (from the Wilson logo) should have been reflected:

…
P.S. I also wonder whether there was a particular reason that the authors chose “Wilson” (instead of “Adidas”, “Nike”, or “Puma”).

Comments may be fixed

I tinkered with settings. Disabling “Enable blocks in comments” allows me to comment again. I did have to do a hard refresh (<cntrl><F5> in most browsers), so if it still doesn’t work for you, try that.

Hoping to see a comment from someone soon so I’ll know it’s working!

Adding a quote so we can see the styling both in post and in comments.
