Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for September 02, 2020

You’re too deep!!

Shove me in the shallow water before I get too deep.

Careful, the decompression when you come back up will be severe.

Kierkegaard’s criticism of Hegel perhaps? (S.K., a Christian Existentialist, criticized the complex and idealistic Hegelian system. He said that Hegel had built a castle — his idealized and abstract philosophy — but lived in the outhouse behind it i.e, the real and concrete world which we all inhabit.)

hard spherical forms are abundant throughout…

It’s going to be a real disappointment if the bubble pops.

Hey! I want to be buried at sea in a Christmas ornament.

Vintage Carl Barks here

I see what you did there….shallow versus deep

This all seems a bit over Horace’s head….!

Hey, where’s Concretionist? Doesn’t she read Horace?

Smart seahorse.

Abstraction aside, I don’t think anyone’s hair looks OK in a bathysphere half-filled with water.

Not much leaping involved here.

Horace is so superficial in the 1st panel

I like the graded tones used here. Your mood gets dark if you take time to think, but your hair will get paler the deeper you sink.

Well, what did Kierkegaard think about his hair?

Deep thoughts?
