The End of the World
The End of the World
Transcription (As provided by the author himself):
Panel 1
August (A bespectacled alligator) and Gustopher (A small child alligator) are walking home from the grocery store when they see a street evangelist (A lion) spreading the good news about the end of the world with a megaphone. He is lifting the holy text "THE FINE BOOK" in the air. Whether or not this book is actually fine is hotly debated.
Street Evangelist: REPENT SINNERS! THE WORLD'S END IS NEAR!
Gustopher: It is?
Panel 2
August has lived through multiple declarations of the end of the world and is fairly confident that the world is not ending. Or if the world is ending, it's happening slowly and painfully.
August: No, the world isn't ending.
Gustopher: But what if it is? I have to live life to the fullest.
Panel 3
Gustopher is filled with determination. If the world ends, he's going to be absolutely sure that he has no regrets.
Gustopher: When we get home, I'm going to pet cats and play video games.
Panel 4
August: You do that every night.
Gustopher: I live each day like it's my last.
