Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 All the little cartoon characters know their lines - perfectly. Each goes through his little daily dance, interacting with all the other cartoon characters in their assigned strip, in perfectly " law-conformable " ways, those laws being, " The Laws of Cartoon Worlds " . These little characters display their wares for all and everyone, each with the apparent built-in confidence which accompanies their actions, as to give the world within each frame the impression that they each know what they are talking about - even before they say it, though, as the " Laws " know, they don't, they couldn't, they're just cartoon characters. These little characters behave and talk as though they comprehend, in advance, not only the frame in which are presently being presented to the observer for whom the strip was originally produced, but each of the succeeding frames - as if they can predict the future. They appear to be able to pierce the fourth wall, between frames, and know what's going to happen next, and some of them even say they do - but, of course, as the " Laws " know, they don't, they couldn't, they're just cartoon characters. You don't author the cartoon strip in which you seem to " find yourself " , and you don't know what's going on in the frames next in line, even though you say you do, as the " Laws " know, you don't, you couldn't, you're just cartoon characters, in a cartoon strip which though it is distributed worldwide, it is being received by an exceedingly small, small audience. The next time a little thought bubble appears over your head, and you read it, and believe it - as per usual, as you were " made to do " - try to remember it's just a thought bubble, and you didn't write it, and you don't know how the story is even unfolding let alone how it's going to end - beyond the high probability that your cartoon character will be cancelled, most likely for low ratings.

Dear fmraerdy, Here are the cartoon characters of late and in alphabetical order: adithya_comming al Anna Charlie Dan fuzzie_wuz hemantbhai100 Ken misterenlightenment Murali Lewis Pete Sam Toombaru Werner None of the above can distinctly explain how a single thought is formed from its origin to expression or how a single coherent sentence is comes to be spoken or written. It can be done that is clear and in many ways as it is done on this list. This being so, none can neither see clearly the web spun nor its relation to all other webs spun or precisely know the webs spun by others. All are in the dark, yet are in " a light " in this cartoon strip. This is already known by all is it not? If it is believed that it is not known, how do you know that all are ignorant of their complete ignorance? Do you assume it because of your knowledge of the " The Laws of Cartoon Worlds " or because you know it directly? That all are deluded but sincere pretenders? Is is because what is read sounds like babbling or looks like scribbling? Is not babbling, scribbling, dribbling, etc. of all sorts what we do as it is without trying? Is this not the natural state of human beings? Is there angst about this? What shall be done? Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
