    Nobody even questions that he has the boulder at the top of the hill, thereby being in a position where it no longer has to be pushed up hill.

    God damn hot milfs in the area are too distracting.

    It’s so weird that people always want Zeus to have white hair. He’s supposed to be the embodiment of male virility in the prime of life, and he is always depicted with dark hair and beard in Greek painting.

      That was in Greek times, it’s been thousands of years. These days he’s the embodiment of the mid life crisis.

    The author taking Camus’ other advice, and imagining Sisyphus happy, then going farther, into realms of the fantastical, and imagining Camus happy too.

      That doesn’t make any sense for him to stop.

      Sisyphus cannot stop rolling the boulder, he’s not doing it because he wants to. He was cursed by Zeus.

        That’s what I thought. The curse is in the fact that he can’t technically have the boulder remain balanced at the top. He would be free if he could get it to stay up there, but no matter how much and how hard he tries, the stone will always role down. It’s been a long time but that is what I remember from it.

        Anyway, the sysyphus myth is supposed to illustrate what we today can also call Sysyphean tasks. Like brushing our teeth, getting a hair cut, cleaning the house, etc etc because no matter how many times we’ve done them, we’ll always will have to do them again and again until we die. The meditations of the philosphers always have to contend as to how Sysyphus or more accurately we accept that life sentence.

          I mean, why does the stone have to be on top anyway? He sits perfectly stable at the mountains foot.

              You guys have cracked and absolutely SLAMMED this comic with your deep and unique insight into an obscure myth that isn’t part of every Westerner’s education.

                  Hey buddy, that’s what you’d call the joke. You can tell because of the extremely obvious sarcasm.

    I thought it was going to lead to “I found out if I balance the rock just right, it stops rolling back down the hill”

          Probably best to just save yourself time, and just post the credit card number here, once, instead of having to REtype it multiple times for each MILF. See? Saving you time you could be spending with those milfs! Saving you like 30 seconds per milf! And 30 seconds is about all you need, right?
