Suicidal Reincarnate – One only has to kill oneself for this tortured existence to be over. Then again maybe not. Perhaps we are reincarnated back to life, existence itself being inescapable. And what of this anthropoid, on its umpteenth suicide attempt. Does it tragically keep its memories of past lives with each new reincarnation or is it oblivious to its past selves, not knowing it is at its own graveyard, and with each new life always coming to the same, unavoidable conclusion. For this anthropoid, does its soul yearn for suicide, for oblivion? Or is it life itself, the suffering and pain and pointlessness, that leads the anthropoid, each time, to self-death. Perhaps realizing with every life that the logical conclusion is always death. Or maybe it is biological, the anthropoid always forced into suicide by genetics. Are the suicides free will or destiny? Are they self-determined or pre-determined? This comic is the embodiment of Hinduism, of Catholicism and its teaching of eternal damnation for those who commit suicide, of Sisyphus, of the saying ‘the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result’, of the movie Groundhog Day, all twisted and demented together. This comic is simply a reminder, perhaps a warning, that while nothingness may be desired, it may not be what one gets. One should be careful, after death may be more life. – Zachary
