Defining "Otherkin"

[frameacloud]

New comic will appear on January 23rd, 2006.

Yes, it's a brand-new, fully-finished comic this time! I've been working with the time management schedules, as promised, and it's helped me work the comic into my time a bit better. I found that laying out, drawing, lettering, and inking today's comic took five hours total... not counting the preliminary sketches, and the cleanup and tinting that I did after I scanned it into the computer. Writing the script doesn't even count into the time in this instance, since it's a guest script. Thanks, Baxil!

Nice. A good way to define otherkin.

We're this close to being a Zen koan!

I thought we were a Zen koan?

What's a Zen koan?

*is clueless*

A Zen koan is a kind of teaching-story used in Zen Buddhism. The message is not in the story itself, but how it is understood wordlessly and intuitively, as Zen itself is essentially beyond words.

My favorite collection of Zen koans is Zen Stories to Tell Your Neighbors, because it includes interpretations made by many different people. It's interesting to see the different things that people can get out of the same koan.
