Homeless – Stoke must think that getting approached by someone homeless is the worst. Or maybe I’m projecting thoughts onto Stoke. Instead, Stoke must think that getting approached by anyone is the worst. Yes that sounds right. Or maybe I’m projecting onto Stoke again. And left unasked is if Stoke has a home. I doubt it, but then again I never asked Stoke. In originally conjuring up this comic I had Stoke reply ‘Same’ or ‘Me too’, but neither felt like the right response. In the end I decided Stoke wasn’t one to say anything unprovoked. But maybe that is just me making assumptions about Stoke. And you know what they say about those who assume, ‘it makes an ass out of you and me.’ So now I’ve gone and made an ass out of myself and an ass out of Stoke. Here I am making assumptions and projecting thoughts onto Stoke. It is not fair to Stoke. Though I doubt Stoke would care. About me and about homelessness, whether Stoke’s or others. I wish society would solve homelessness, so I wouldn’t feel so guilty about doing nothing about it (I’ve gone and made an ass out of myself again). I don’t think Stoke cares about that either. Perhaps Stoke’s apathy is a metaphor, or am I making assumptions again. Oh and I hope the punchline is obvious. After all, how can a turtle be homeless? – Zachary
