/lit/ seems pretty gloomy today. Let's share some laughs and make this afternoon a bit more relaxing.

Just samples. They have released all of their strips in a single collector's books, which I own. I think it's worth it.

The strip I'm currently posting I managed to save it from the other thread I mentioned here>>2487220

Their comics were pretty easy to find before but then megaupload happened. I'll try and find a link after I upload this bunch.

And finished.

To the guy who requested download links for the rest.

Couldn't find a torrent, sadly, so I'm afraid you'll just have to deal with the DL cap and the shitty timers.

They kinda hardline The Republic being literal and Nietzsche thinking he was the ubermensch, which I think are both contentious to say the least, but I still thoroughly enjoyed.

I don't know much about philosophy (yet), so I appreciate, that little insight. Time to get my hands on some philosophy books!

Thanks, OP. This is pretty good, and funny too.

I found even the Bodhidharma one enjoyable although it made me frown a lot more than the Plato one. Then they fucked up Nietzsche tremendously and now I can only wish misery upon them. The concept behind the whole thing is nice, but they should have consulted people with actual knowledge of these thinkers.

Poorly paced, badly drawn. Shit writing.

Quick philosophy lessons like this are interesting but the execution is terrible and the depth of understanding on the topics touched is dubious at best.

Now if a cartoonist of the caliber of Clowes, Ware or even Brown were to give this type of strip a crack...

Ah well I think these comics work well in showing people what the philosophers were about and make them more interested in it and maybe bring people to read it.

>> No.2489598

Why not just start with Alain de Botton instead?
There are better writers out there but he's pretty easy read for the layman.
