She DOES make an oddly good point. I mean, if she truly wants nothing, she could just.. do nothing. Just basically be a bum or something. Or at least work some crappy min wage job so she can have food. Have fun responding to THAT one Scip!

Small typo in panel 3 : "exapand the horizons"

Well, she's got a pretty good gig now, right? I'm sure Scip'd be more than happy to take care of her for as long as he can, only occasionally complaining to his chicken.

Having just finished my bachelor's of science degree requirements last Friday, going to college forces you to grow, to live with and work with people who disagree with you, and to strike out on your own while still giving you a sort of safety net that leaves you free to experiment. Now, I know that not everyone has the same experience, but I've had a crazy, busy, plodding, racing, mind-blowing time. I usually don't like to brag, but I think I deserve a tiny "go me" for this one. If Epiphany decides that she doesn't want to work for it, she'll never get the reward.

care too much about politics or wear tinfoil hats.
you should all read "the nightly news" not only is it a good book about a cult killing journalist- they also have some good charts in there about how schools are just tools to brainwash our kids into complacency.

Gordon struck me as a supervillain. But maybe that's because I don't know Gordon.
Do I want to know Gordon?

Broken record, hiya. :)
Maybe this is the wrong mode of communication in which to ask this question?
The shirts look dandy! Hmm, though, have you considered using a T-Shirt supplier that avoids sweatshop labor? Fruit of the Loom is pretty well documented as being ex-ploit-a-tive-issimo.
No Sweat, for instance, or American Apparel (great fitting shirts but iffy if you want union-made)?
Thanks.

Eh, if by 'avoid sweatshop labor' you mean, take away someone's job so that we can keep third-world people poor, then sure. *cynical*
Sweatshop labor is still a job, and when the alternitave is starving to death, stripping rotting metal cargo ships for scrap with your bare hands, working in a mine with no safety whatsoever, and other jobs like it... well. I know what I'd prefer.

Well B, the idea, as I understand it, is that if enough people demand that their products are made without exploiting others, then, the manufacturers will be forced to stop, where-ever the thing is made.
When it comes to coffee, chocolate, and crafts, there are real options - choosing Fair-trade products that nourish and fairly remunerate `third-world' workers, or choosing those that expolit them.
Tshirts is a trickier matter, with fewer options. Nonetheless, I'd rather not exploit, when I can. And providing good jobs here in the US is not a bad thing, as there are certainly sweatshops here as well. Not to mention the reduced fossil fuel used in shipping the item to me, from, say, LA, versus China.

Here's an idea. Who cares?
