Looking for a comic about Maslow's Hierarchy.

December 9, 2016 9:22 AM

I'm looking for a thing I once read. It was a comic or other illustrated story on the internet in the mid-2000s. It starred a girl (I think) who was exploring a strange, largely empty world. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs was a motif throughout; it might have been intended as a teaching tool. I remember there being a city, and a train. It might have been colored with colored pencils. The Hierarchy appeared in the illustrations as it was being explained, perhaps with one layer of the pyramid highlighted, or others grayed out.

Mod note: Final update from the OP:

A fellow seeker created a MetaFilter account and informed me of their success in finding the thing. That person is a hero; I salute them. It's the 2003-era webcomic 9th Elsewhere. A complete archive of it is available at https://imgur.com/a/8ciLH.
