Curious how no-one's voting for Marten, who, after all, is the linchpin round which everything revolves.
He tends fades into the background.
It's because of that tendency that I ended up giving him my vote, though I could have selected P) All of the above (there's just so many quirks, nuances and even bits of realisation that each character provides that makes it hard to choose). Or to rephrase Wen the Eternally Surprised (Thief of Time):
Wen: "[...] I know the answers to many questions. Ask me."
[...]
Clodpool: "Er... who is master's favourite QC character?"
[...]
Wen: "Ah, one of the
difficult ones."
I like these sorts of comics and what they say about humanity (and lack thereof) as a whole. Of course, many people have grown out of their superiority complexes and come to realise that people everywhere are just trying to live life. To them - ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Enlightened Realisation. Learning that people are more than race, class, biology and desires is a lesson that too few people have learned.
I judge not by peoples looks or whatever anymore (What? Kids are always arrogant and I was no exception). If your beliefs are built of ignorance, arrogance and superiority
whoever you are or wherever you might be from, then you have in my eyes earned a rank somewhere a few steps below bacteria. Or to put it in another way: Who are
you to put words in
God's mouth?
If anything else, if an omnicognizant, omnipresent, omnipotent being had actual issues with anyone... destroying an individual, a group or a species would not be much of a problem. Not that I seek to challenge God's power, mind you (Atheist, but not saying "God doesn't exist", but more "There's not really much reason to have faith in one, considering").
My philosophical rant is over for now. I need sleep...
