Here I am.
And now Jessie’s Girl is a sad song.
...
I wasn’t prepared for this.
( Thanks Katie I'm dead :'D )
I guess he left Malachi the rope.
Godspeed, Linus.
Farewell, Linus! Rest assured the library will... uh... well. Better not to dwell too much on this.
STEM sure is a weird place.
One thought though - Linus did take the best map of the woods with him and he could theoretically add to it and plot the way out so he knows how to get back.
...otherwise, I might be very, very, exceptionally very, extremely very, infinity+1 very, very, did I mention "very" sad. 8-)
I just realized that is a lot of rope, as in I would think rope in that amount would only be available at the rope course...
Did Linus pilfer it?
Did he have contacts within the rope-course kids?
Was he one of them when he was younger?
Is Purdy his Jessie's-girl?!? Did he think that she and Brian were a 'thing' now and that he had to go into self-exile to get away from his feelings?
Just popping in to say how great this comic is and how much I love it. This page really gave me the push to finally come out and say it.
Thanks for the inspiration
Adam gets the credit here for the internal conflict, as the writer of Camp W. :]
For what it's worth, I think that these kids are in the bardo - an intermediate stage between one's death and reincarnation. =Lincoln in the Bardo= by George Saunders is one interpretation of what the bardo might look like. This comic is another.
“Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence”
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
Amazing comic;
And I took the one less traveled by
and that has made all the difference"

Now Malachi can be the camp librarian.
A lesson to be learned
Traveling twice the speed of sound
It's easy to get burned
