Caught off-guard much?

It was about 9:30 last night when I suddenly realized I had a comic update for this morning. It wouldn't NORMALLY be a problem, as I'd already put it up for an automatic update... but then I remembered I HATED the title.

Initially, it was "Visions of the End." But that is useless in this situation. I wanted something to do with Death being a "dream" of sorts... but that was just way too out-there.

COMIC NOTES: If you understood what Death said, congrats.

For those who still don't get what a tulpa is, Wikipedia has this to say on the subject:

"A tulpa is, in Tibetan mysticism, a being or object which is created through sheer willpower alone. In other words, it is a materialized thought that has taken physical form (a thoughtform)."

In other words, Death as a supernatural being is something initially made-up, which became wholly real over time, sentient and gaining independance from its creators.

Its creators, of course, being humanity.

This is not to say death as a natural process was imagined - it's all too real - but Death as a living being is, at least in my opinion, a tulpa.
