Bernie sometimes sends his tiny comics to me in regular old, smallish envelopes. Sometimes, or at least one time, said envelope slides down a crack into a strange nether realm, only to reappear after I have moved into a new apartment at least a year later. Just in case anybody out there keeps up with all of this in real time and wonders why #16 is getting reviewed after #17-19. Anyway, the impetus behind this particular volume was Bernie asking the internet the following question: &#8220;how do I deal with an existential crisis?&#8221; He scatters a few answers here and there, but I&#8217;m not going to give away the answer, as Bernie does uncover the basic secret of our existence, but you know how I hate spoilers. As always, the text epilogue in the back is invaluable, and you should really be reading these, even if you have to go back in time to March 2013 (when this came out) to do so. $1<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/demondust162.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-22986\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/demondust162-222x300.jpg\" alt=\"demondust162\" width=\"222\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/demondust162-222x300.jpg 222w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/demondust162-758x1024.jpg 758w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/demondust162-185x250.jpg 185w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/demondust162-129x175.jpg 129w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/demondust162-28x38.jpg 28w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/demondust162-159x215.jpg 159w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/demondust162.jpg 765w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 222px) 100vw, 222px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website DemonDust #16 It&#8217;s time for a peek behind the curtain here at Optical Sloth headquarters!
