I’m always struck just what people will do in order to stick to a certain way of living/doing things. Certainly we’re all guilty of clinging to certain ideas or modes of life to one degree or another, whether out of habit, comfort, or conscious premeditated decision, but I would certainly hope that people would be willing to move on when things become unsustainable to this extent.
It does put a certain ironic spin on that first encounter with the Topsiders, where Hank has grown so sick of beans that he’s willing to risk joining them. And am I right in remembering a Topsider wanting to butcher a member of a scavenging team for pork chops? All this angst over food, while I’m guilty of just throwing the stuff away. Huzzah for unsustainable agriculture!
Anyway. I’m constantly amazed at how squirm inducing this comic is. Love it.
Allgood, please.
