#32: Pillar explain

Pillar

[At the top of the panel is a black frame with the following text:]

This one is mostly by my little brother, Doug.

[A Cueball-like guy stands on the top of a tall pole and talks to his Cueball-like friend on the ground. The drawing is repeated three time in the same panel, once for each comment by the two guys.]

Pole-guy: The sky is so blue, and all the leaves are green.

Friend: Haven’t you ever wondered if we really see the same colors as everyone else? It’s all perception.

Pole-guy: Well, you might as well call into question all of human experience. Who really knows what world someone else sees?

Friend: Yeah, I guess.

Pole-guy: Anyway, can you help me down from this pole?

Friend: What pole?
