How then, do we move backwards? How does a society, with most of the people having no clue of future events, move from being dependent on a vast and intertwined network of goods and services produced by the indigenous people of whereever, to a local resource and renewable energy based society, and do so in the timeframe available (20-30 years using the most liberal extimates, 10-20 with resonable estimates, 5-10 with worst case scenarios), all the while prices on everything increasing, world politics getting more militaristic, governments continuously reducing civil liberties, shortages of goods on the market and weather patterns resembling bad Hollywood movies?

It's a fine line...
But the images are downsized and I wrote the author letting her know
I'm posting this thread, so if she wants advertising for her comic removed,
well that's easy enough.

Haven't finished, will someone ask "Has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year?"
That's really sweet. Unless it ends as scripted by Jack. Kinda doubt that'll happen! _________________ Cogito, ergo non satis bibivi

Saying hello... my first post.
The last comic was nice. We planted flax this year. We await with impatience its pale blue flowers. Unfortunately, the supplier sold us "Omega," when in fact we wanted regular flax, which announces its beauty in baked bread as little brownish-black seeds. Omega may be higher in omega-3 oils, which we get enough of due to our vegetable-based diet, but Omega is pale and innocuous, like the color of whole wheat. Perhaps it will revert over many seasons.
In Detroit we lived for many years. We considered buying a home over there by Highland Park, just under that old, neon Yellow Pages ad on the Lodge Freeway. We were "redlined," I would call it, because the mortgage was for a house under $50k. Anyway, I wanted to buy a tractor and farm the area around our house, and give the food away to everyone who lived nearby... In another neighborhood, a man bought a horse and was pasturing it in the empty lots. He was ticketed. And so forth. Perhaps some towns like Seattle may be ready for this, but I have heard of friction in Chicago... We are now settled far, far out.

No that doesn't look like the direction it's going. I'd say the comic is
going the "how cuba survived peak oil" direction. Definitely kid safe
and I think that's one of great thing about this comic, is it looks like a
safe way to introduce peak oil issues to children and teach them
useful skills too.

I believe it...
That was something I liked living in Ukraine, how horses were often
used by nearby farm to bring food into cities and there were no
lawnmowers. It's too bad, but we still have a long way to go for
people here to not get all NIMBY when they see a horse.

Cute cartoon.
I got a laugh out of the classroom presentation when she's finished describing all the things the are made from oil and how they won't be available after all.

Thanks steam. The site layout could be better though. Is there a page with links to every strip? _________________ My PO Amazon store (shameless plug).

Kinda doubt that'll happen!
