So concludes their discussion.

One day my wife and I were babysitting our friends daughter. Our dog had recently passed away and it was a nice comfort to have her around. She kept asking where Alfred (our dog) was. We had told her he had died but she kept asking anyways. She would say that we should go back to our house because maybe he was waiting there for us.

We couldn’t understand it. Finally she came out and said someone had told her that spirits will go into a new body after death, so that they come back. We realized that person was trying to explain reincarnation to her. It was obvious she was told this to make her feel better. She in turn, created her own mythology about how all that worked because she didn’t understand this complicated subject. She thought Alfred would inhabit another dogs body and come racing home. It was tough explaining to her that’s not how it works.

Sometimes I wish it did. I’d give anything to see my dog again…to see the people I know I’ll never see again. I cherish those moments and I wish I could have them again. That’s the rub. I cherish them because I know they are temporary. That’s why every moment counts.

I miss you buddy.

Hey, See that cool newsletter thing off to the side.

Maybe you should enter your e-mail and subscribe to the Hominids Newsletter! Wouldn’t that be cool?!?

The Great Beyond!

This may be one of the most important pages to come out of the Hominids narrative.
This is the first time the concept of the “after life” has been brought up to the Tree-Dwellers. In human society, the comfort of our loved ones living on after death is a great comfort. Icari is a little surprised that this isn’t the natural reaction that the Tree-Dwellers also have. It might need some further explaining.

Also, don’t forget that the first 6 chapters are available at the Hominids store! This is perhaps the best way you can support your favorite webcomic! Not only will you have your own copy but the you won’t have to read it through the lens of a low resolution web image any more. I’m telling you that it is quite lovely in book form and would look great on your bookshelf…

Go get your copies today!
