Different Eras

Mar 21, 2014 — Comic #1
Long vertical comic. A narrator muses, “I prefer to think of time as nonlinear... that we walk in and out of different eras of our lives,” over scenes from one man’s life: a childhood hike with a parent, visiting an elderly relative by a fireplace, a graduation, standing watch on a Coast Guard cutter, a romantic night on a city rooftop, standing in the rain, and working in an office. In the last panel he’s at a video-store counter as the clerk says, “You still have to return your DVDs on time, sir.” He protests, “If this isn’t a different era, how am I in a video store?!” A poster behind him reads “Remake 4: The Reboot.”

I prefer to think of time as nonlinear… / …that we walk in and out of different eras of our lives from moment to moment… / …finding lost friends and dead relatives, meeting old flames and people we’ll always miss. / CONGRATULATIO[NS] / That all the instants that ever were… / …that ever made us who we are… / All that love, and pain, and joy… / …exist simultaneously somewhere, outside the confines of our conscious minds… / Even as we seem to move forward. / You still have to return your DVDs on time, sir. / If this isn’t a different era, how am I in a video store?! [poster: Remake 4: The Reboot]
