Comic Strips
Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

What a bad lumber jack, not even hitting in the same spot and its almost at the top. He'll get like no wood from that.
Being useful is overrated.
The tree might ask, “useful to whom?”
It may ask itself, how did I get here?

What is utility?
Must it be measurable and quantifiable?
And even if it needn't, can it exist otherwise in an economic system that requires quantified value in all things?
What a thought provoking question.
I'd argue utility can exist outside of measurable systems but is defined by the measurements made within a system.
The measurements then determine with arbitrary values the utility of an object.
For instance, take two early human weapons: A wooden spear, and a club.
How would you rate the utility of each? By a varying degrees of ways, but they have different uses; a spear can hunt animals and has good penetrating power through flesh, a hammer can stun or knock out an animal, or drive a nail or stake.
But which of the two is the better use of the wood? That I believe, is at the core of your question.
The answer is both. A non-zero-sum system where both are valued for different purposes and no-one is the greater, or lesser thereof.
The Giving Tree
I cried.
I didn't get it.
The tree wonders whether the bench is made of its chopped down neighbour.
Now I get it, thanks
Edit: I wasn't really paying ose attention and it didn't register that the left object was a stump or that he was looking at it. I thought he was just looking around for Brian
