This strip just makes my day almost every day and today is no exception….beautiful, detailed artwork and a sense of humor which gurgles fresh from the wellspring of the soul.
A great metaphor for all the Get Rich Quick, Self Help, Eliminate Debt, Weight Loss scams out there. And it’s all presented in one beautifully drawn and composed panel.
I think this is much funnier having to scroll down from the top and finding the elevator at the bottom as a punch-line than if I had seen it as one complete picture.
One of your BEST EVER! Just goes to show, once more, that Science and Reason out-bests Religion and Superstition. Finite answers to infinite questions… ? Never.
Literally made me LOL when I got to the bottom. I think I frightened my husband. What a philosophical shot in the arm! Thanks again for another delightful offering - visually and mentally.
Climb to the top…
Never stop…
Enlightenment awaits…
Reason abates…
Facts are few…
The truth is true…
Now is the time…
Faith is the crime…
(Really, is common sense so fragile?)
It is hard to single out particular panels to praise. There are so many that excel.
We do not get this in our local newspaper. So, I will have to wait till later today to ask my History-Philosophy major son for his thoughts. I’m fairly confiden what my psychology major daughter will say… “Yeah, dad, it took you this long to figure that out?”

Those people need a “lift” to their lives.

Even gurus keep business hours! –And use elevators. I guess after centuries as the Old Man of the Mountain, he’s outfitted it with certain amenities.

Do you need a special key to get in that elevator?

The answer seems to be - ‘for an easier life, get an easier life’.

Makes me want to give up my material life and survive on the simple things, elevators, coffee, and, wait a minute, is that the NYT?

During my time as an offshore sailor, I went to a bar with these words of wisdom carved over the doorway: “Ease sheets and reach through life.”

JanCinVV, Exactly. I thought it was funny even before I got to the bottom. That was icing.

Especially since they are all working so hard trying to find the easier answer…

You just need to know where the elevator is.

You just got to know that those aren’t backpacks, they are parachutes. Otherwise the ‘easier life’ won’t last long enough to matter!
