Searching for a certain comic strip about life stages

March 27, 2015 7:03 AM

About two years ago a certain online comic strip - making a point about accepting absurdity in later life - was briefly a meme and I'd love to find it again. If I remember right, it had three panels with images & text something like...

Panel 1, showing a smiling boy standing outside on a sunny day - "When I was young, I was in love with the beauty of the world"

Panel 2, showing a thunderstorm - "Then I became an adult and learned how dangerous the world can be"

Panel 3, showing a Dali-esque landscape of weird colors and shapes - "Now that I'm entering old age, I've decided to hold on to the absurd"

Any ideas?

Is it lunar baboon? Sounds like something he would write.

was it cartoon drawn or picture images? if picture images, check out "a softer world" to see if the aesthetic looks familiar to you.

Pretty certain I saw this myself going around Facebook once or twice, perhaps middle of last year.

Two possible aesthetics that come to mind for a piece like this are cyanide and happiness or Chuck & Beans.

Response by poster: Thanks, everyone. Unfortunately it's not in the style of any of those. I originally spotted it on mlkshk, where things often get posted without source (not sure if this one had a source listed or not).
