While drawing this I felt inspired by the incredible surreal comics of Tori Miki (Miki Bird), in particular a book a picked up on a trip to Japan in the mid 90’s: “Any Place but Here vol. 2”. Being entirely free from text it was probably the only book in the shop I could have understood completely — except that some of the jokes still elude me! Recently I’ve spotted more of his work on Amazon.
Reality Reality™. You saw it here first.

6. NEVER ARGUE WITH A MACHINE -- THAT CONTROLS A LASER
I would like to preempt any complaints about violations of the laws of physics by pointing out that (1) in Invisibulia those laws are somewhat different (and indeed we know that photons need follow only a very relaxed set of Maxwell’s equations, who knows how space-time might or might not interact with magnetism); and (2) this is a comic.

I still can’t decide whether the unfortunate Invisibulean not quite appearing in today’s strip is wearing spectacles or not.

3. (my lens has rolled round inside my head - it's _very_ painful)

2. (I want some advice -- can I recycle my paper handtowel?) ~~ah no, technically you see that's contaminated waste
3. (because it has touched a person?) ~~yes, that is correct
4. (so, ignoring for the moment anything else that has touched a person, my paper hand towel has to go into landfill?) ~~indeed, yes

6. ~~So you'll have to wash your hands
