Maaan, I just don’t understand that comic; somebody care to explain?
Is Death disappointed because the green guy is not interested in his own grave but more about the future achievements and what society did in the meantime?
Or the disrespect for having lived 90 years?
Is that the correlation to Solar Punk?
Because I excluded some things already:
someone dug a grave for him, so someone is/was alive and cared enough to do so and even knew his birthday
snow is cold so it cannot be fallout; some hyphotesized below
wind turbines are still turning and are not damaged or worn down
I think you’re looking too deep. The ghost of Christmas future shows you how unimportant you are, but the character doesn’t care since the world is better than expected.
Then why is the ghost disappointed/confused in the last panel, if his mission was to show how unimportant the green guy is and then the green guy does exactly that by marvelling about the future and not about the self-importance.
And maybe one of the downvoters can exlain it all to me when they’re so dismissive?
Fair. How do you interpret the mimics of something that has no face?
So I took the approach of “looks emotionless at green guy” as in “is unsure about what to make of this situation” and therefore “is confused / thinking about an approach”.
His pointing finger is also pointing lower than in the panel before, as in “loses tension” as in “is not pointing anymore but just left in the previous position” therefore the mental focus changed from pointing at / highlighting something to a different aspect, which, in combination with the first paragraph, makes me interpret the panel as “confused / distracted”

If we’re being pedantic here, how can you tell the ‘ghost’ is ‘disappointed/confused’?
