The current story arc started with this strip: Naypyidaw Sector 1.
- Sandra: Hey Cloud, making any progress in saving the world?
- Cloud: You bet! Today, I wrote a letter to our senator asking him to stand up for a new UN resolution on human rights in Burma!
- Sandra: Way to go!
- Cloud: Bleh… reality sucks!

I know that feeling…
Oh, I see. He thinks reality sucks because writing a letter to a senator is a far cry from the romanticized heroism of, say, beating the junta in hand-to-hand combat.
@ Tom Flapwell: Yep.
I like this comic. Found it just today “Feb 8, 2009″, read it all, and cant wait for the next episde. ^_^
Poor Cloud- because we all want to gather an army of heroes and take on all the injustices of the world. I too certainly can identify with this feeling…
Cute, but what is an “unresolution”?
moopy: It’s not “unresolution”, it’s “UN resolution”. UN stands for United Nations.
Ah, few things sting like the eternal desire to fly through the air, blasting villanous overlords with the Gigaflare spell.
I am in agreement with that punchline.
Huh. Way behind, but as I’m just now going through the archives for the first time, my initial impression was that Cloud was disappointed because he realized the ultimate futility of asking your average congressperson to do… well, much of anything.
Meh, Democrative or Republican, it doesn’t really matter anymore. For in the end, both parties are just full of hot air…
Poor little guy. The truth can hurt so badly sometimes.
Fail way of trying to be awsome in the real world.
seriously there are so many other ways it blows my mind.
Before telling a senator to free burma here are the list of things to do…
1. free Leonard Peltier (he’s been in jail for fighting for native american rights)
They say to free Aung San but they haven’t free Leonard Peltier (hypocrisy)!
P.S- I am from Burma but living in US because I won the Visa Lottery!
AIN’T IT THE TRUTH!!!
He should’ve blown up a reactor instead
I have to agree with him there. Reality sucks very much. : /
@ Tom Flapwell:
More likely it’s dawned on him that he’s asking a CONGRESSMAN– a do-nothing-right politician— to ask the UN— a plain old bunch of do-nothings— to do something.
@ Tom Flapwell:
Or maybe it’s that he doubts it will actually make a difference?
@Klobb Exactly.
Try telling your cat to perform the Hula dance. It doesn’t work.
Try telling your Congressman to vote Y/N on anything. Most likely? Same results.
Bush: Sum’ crazy dicator has nucular power in Iran!? Send the Marines!!!
Obama: Let’s wait 6 weeks for a UN sanction…any minute now…any second now………
The Assyrians were enraged.
I agree.
Sorry, I meant @ RHJunior.
This is why I prefer fantasy. It’s much more fun.
I must agree with cloud. Reality would be awesome if magic and talking animals / anthropomorphs existed.
