--- Quote from: Platypodes on 08 Oct 2013, 15:17 --- I want to see the expressions on his face when he has to learn to make a hammered-banana smoothie.
--- End quote ---
Pschh! The hammer-smoothie is not something that can be taught; it is a state of being, of perfect harmony between arm and hammer expressing the fundamental entropy of existence in the most literal way possible. To achieve it is to become one with oneself and yet also nothingness itself…

Exactly! The hammered banana smoothie is not about refreshment. It is pure performance art. When Emily expresses her intention to consume hers, she inverts the deconstruction of the symbolic matrix, grounding the transcendent in the mundane. Which is why it's funny.

Generally, the characters in that strip are particularly mean to each other in a way that only the closest of friends can be.

I see, thanks.
I wonder how it reflects on our society that the last sentence makes sense (in that "yes, i recognize that as a sign of close friendship") instead of being ghastly?
