My dog the philosopher


Greetings from Palmia Observatory,

This page deals with philosophy and how comics portray our existential condition of finding ourselves alone in the universe and wondering what it is all about and how can we come to know about our situation.

Even my dog is plagued with asking these questions!

And yet, to rely on reason alone has its own drawbacks.  Yes, we need instinct and intuition!
