        I’ve heard some people wish they had a soundtrack. I have to admit, it’s pretty nice. I’ve talked to my wife, she (a better musician than me) has one too (hers isn’t constant tho, she just is always humming music (silently or not) in her head which is the way she conceptualizes it. Me, the music just happens unless I intentionally take over, which is very nice for those songs with the lyrics i don’t know). I imagine folk with schizophrenia who think they have music coming out of their teeth or fillings, the difference between them and us is that somehow they misidentified the source of their inner music (and if that spiraled out of something they were taught, well there is no greater sin than teaching someone their inner voices aren’t theirs and I don’t believe in sin). I am of course the world’s leading expert on schizophreniology, you can and must believe every word I pull out of my ass.

      My library had a book entirely about exploring comic creation through the medium of a comic book. Things like finding a wall too long to go around, and noting that the reader only knows this because of the dialogue highlighting it, since the wall can only be as big as the panel. It strikes me as similar.

      “Ontological metalepsis”, maybe with some “reification”?

      Metalepsis A crossing between narrative levels. Here, a non-physical comic convention becomes physically active inside the story.

      Ontological metalepsis A stronger, more precise form: something from one “reality level” enters another. The speech bubble moves from the reader-facing graphic layer into the character’s physical world.

      Reification Treating something abstract, symbolic, or conventional as if it were a concrete object. The speech bubble is “reified” because it becomes a usable physical thing.

      I love this comic.

      I’d argue the opposite, since if we call something magic, it means that we’re only in the early stages of discovery. That’s always exciting.

        I would like to respectfully disagree. We use the word Magic in advertising for reasons I’m not an advertiser don’t ask me. Also for sex reasons ask Irving’s Johnson (one could argue all those stages of discovery are exciting but only maybe 97.2843% with a line over the two and the three idk how to do that onna phone are fun exciting but I’m pretty sure he’s explored most of the early stages of everything there is to explore). Also I’m pretty sure we have thoroughly explored what makes the brownies magic. Although it could use another trip.

          I was referring to the specific definition used in the magic/technology divide: something that exerts supernatural power over natural forces.

      Technology that we don’t know how works is magic, give a smartphone to a guy from 1890

        Shit give it to a guy from 1980. Just 15 years ago I didn’t know how to work a touchscreen phone despite having worked on touchscreens in retail. I just didn’t know general navigation (it took me fifteen seconds to figure it out) but I also have the confidence and technical understanding to know how to break and unbreak shit. Documenting how it was before you broke it/backing it up is step one.
