    It was a reductio ad absurdum. Natural disasters aren’t that common either (although they’re becoming more frequent), but that doesn’t mean they aren’t real and serious matters.

    In other words, the monster in the comic was a good metaphor even if he’s not actively attacking the guy.

    If it’s brown, lay down, if it’s black fight back.

    If it’s white, say goodnight. Or have a shotgun handy.

    Nahh, just offer some nose scratches and it will roll over for belly rubs. People approach everything from completely the wrong direction (i.e., “everything is a threat to me, therefore I must be the bigger threat”). Animals can be pretty chill when you’re not screaming and punching them.

    Yes, this is also a metaphor for geopolitics.
