‘yeah i participate in greek life in college’ i say as i form my own distinct city state, telling barbarous people who wear pants to go back to persia and plotting to invade nearby departments and claim their territory as my own
Thinking about future historians being pissed as hell at us any time they come across something weird/unusual, because they can’t be sure if it’s legit or just one of us trolling them from beyond the grave.
But also, which inane parts of our lives will read as absurd? Like will they be like, okay but obviously roller blades were just an elaborate troll?

Okay, but that suggests that any history we truly want to hide, we just preface with Rick Astley, because everyone’s gonna ignore it.
(Except for that one grad student who suspects our shenanigans, writes paper after labored paper that everyone ignores, and hates us more than all the other academicians combined.)
There’s a book out there that’s either one of the last great unsolved cyphers or a massive medieval hoax. Welcome to the weird world of the Voynich Manuscript. And no, it isn’t solved yet.
I did this comic for The Niblast year (The Nib is an amazingly great place for comics on Medium if you don’t know that already). You can follow all my work on Medium here.
