Hey! Help me find the damn squirrel in this damn tree called the internets!

April 20, 2007 6:01 PM

[Failed Google-Fu Filter] I'm looking for a web comic that was posted on AskMe a few months ago in a comment.

If I recall correctly, I believe the post was about finding hope in life with an existentialist view... someone had a comment about even though life had no meaning, there were always squirrels.

The comic was in black and white, pretty simple. Had three panels I believe, one dude on the left being all depressed that there was nothing to life, and the other dude agreeing but happily about it, and on the third panel he's climbing a tree and found a squirrel up there.

Please help, I've been Googling and looking through tags all day! Save me!

Is this it? (FWIW, I found the comment via the following search: squirrels existential site:ask.metafilter.com).

Drat! Seems Aloysius Bear's Google-Fu is faster than mine.

The site defaults to Yahoo!, special-k, but I tend to use Google out of habit. Perhaps bad with titles does likewise.
