Comic 17: Your Very Own Reality Show

When I was a kid, I used to have this weird, recurring thought that maybe I was the only actual person in the world.

It was not quite The Truman Show, since I used to imagine that other people just switched off when their performance in my life was done, like the robotics drunkards in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

The concept is still fascinating to think about, especially since I have access to a nice range of intoxicants now (back then it was just candy and spinning around until really dizzy). I guess it’s even trippier to imagine the Truman Show version of the fantasy, where people are watching your life, reality show style.

If they are watching, I’m thinking the least you can do is make that shit entertaining.
