I like this strip, because it really isn’t that simple. Nature is beautiful, and most of us can agree with Bruno on some level, but human desires look for other things for beauty as well. A “sexy ad” being a blatant trashy example, but it is only at a different place on the scale from, say sublime architecture, or sculpture, painting, gardens, etc.

I quit a job at McDonald’s as a teen in a similarly irresponsible fashion. I was being paid crap and they had begun treating me like crap on top of that. It is the ONLY time I have ever left a job without giving notice. I may still feel a little bad about it, but I’d never confess that.
