- Caption: People can get as old as 3,155,692,600 seconds (raccoons 631,138,520 seconds). And yet it often seems that the most important thing for the way we think, feel and live is what happens in just a few of them.

It took me a few moments but now I get it
. Nice 100th strip!
Methinks the math needs a bit of an adjustment. The racoon I believe comes out to twenty years and the humans to one hundred. Think human life expectancy is around eighty to eighty-five. not sure about racoons.
Racoons:
second = 10,518,975 minutes
minutes = 175,316 hours
hours = 7,180 days
days = 19.7 years (365 days per.)
Humans:
seconds = 52,594,876 minutes
minutes = 876,581 hours
hours = 36,524 days
days = 100 years
Ah, that part of VII was particularily heart wrenching….
to born, to escape and to be loved, I cant really see what part of Final Fantasy VII is that

woops, forgot to note, is that Sandra’s mom there in first panel?
OH! It took me a moment to figure this out but now I get it. It’s the most important moments for Sandra’s folks (Sandra’s birth), Woo(escaping captivity), and Cloud’s folks (Bonding over FF7).
Very nice moments. The birth of Sandra, Woos escape (from his crude first owner, I think) and the beginning love of Clouds parents (while they look FF7) .
Thank the comic that this comments option is here. Lest, I may have never understood panels 2 & 3.
BTW: Notice the “pony” television set? That takes me back to the days when Price is Right permitted a video game to be made of their series…and all the prizes had to be knock-off names to avoid copyrights. “Yes. You can get this $230 tool set by Rears…IF The Price is Right.”
@ Cairn Destop: I have not used the average life span of the species but a very high age. I had to take a specific number in the end so I took 20 years for raccoons and 100 years for humans. But 18 years and 110 years would have worked just as well.
@ jup-reindeer: You certainly don’t have to worry about your eyesight. The Pony logo (that was Powree’s idea) is so tiny that I thought nobody would see it.
What a lovely looking comic. Bookmarked.
What could have been a better time to read all of this comic. Heartwarming.
You know I had a friend who was playing FF7 and when Aerith died she said she cried for a bit turned off the psx and never finished the game, guess that was one of her seconds.
Aww! (RL Raccoons can be rather surly in their old age though.)
i can’t help but agree… occasionally some longer periods can have great weight also, but there’s nothing like the impact a single, important sentence can have upon the rest of your existance.
I think the second sentence could be better if written something like this:
“And yet, it often seems that the most important things for the way we think, feel, and live, happen in just a few of them.”
“And yet, for the way we think, feel, and live, it often seems like the most important things happen in just a few of them.”
But point taken. It certainly rings true. It’s a sobering fact.
@ Novil:
Yahoo news just reported that today (as of this typing; 9/11/09) that Gertrude Baines had just passed away. She was the oldest living person on record: Age 115.
And, funny you should mention my eyesight. Very similar to what a co-worker said, just the other week.
@ waffle911: The wording of your first suggestion sounds better, that’s true. But I think it also involves a slight change of meaning, so I won’t change the strip.
It’s nice to see what Sandra’s Mother looked like…after all this time you finally see her mom after all the reference and mystery behind her…
…I never got to play FF7…
It is. Julie North is – or rather, was
– “amongst” us.
Ah, poor Aeris, remembered forever for how she died. Although my main memory is how I only got to use Great Gospel once, ONCE, and then they took her from me. YARGH!!!
It was great to get a chance to see Sandra’s mom, but now I’m curious about Cloud’s folks. We’ve only seem them fleetingly. I wonder what they’re like in day to day life. For some reason I picture them being like Daisuke’s (of D.N. Angel) mom and grandpa. Setting up deadly traps to ensure he always stays capable and him being unbelievably cut despite of it.
@ Leinad:
These are different moments of their past. 1st pic Sandra and her parents 2nd Woo escaping his old owner (he can pick locks… remember Tweety) 3rd Cloud’s parents playing FFVII hence his name. Did u read the prev ones? U would get it.
At first I was like hmmmmmmmm
Then I figured them out and I was like awwwwwwwwwwwww
Then I noticed the austere room in which Cloud’s parents are bonding over a beautiful story and awesome game…I am now trying to figure out a method to obtain liquid rainbows and get them to you.
Thank you, this brightened my day.
I think Cloud Mom’s met his dad at some sort of refugee camp (noted by red cross on a bag and thatched enviroment)!
P.S- Most of my Burmese friends (I am Chinese Burmese) enjoyed Final Fantasy and Counter Strike and Warcraft 3 DoTA!
@ Vryl:
Then you, my friend, need to play the Final Fantasy series. All of them. The first few tutorials will only take a couple of weeks. You’re lucky at how short they are now.
i find it kind of sad that this is the first and perhaps, the only time we see Sandra’s mom.
It’s also interesting to learn more about Cloud’s dad from this strip. Can we assume that he was a humanitarian helper in the past?
You gotta love FF7…
@ Leinad:
He’s escaping from his cage. From his previous owner who abused him.
excellent comic i love your quirky sense of humor and your characters faces shine with feelings
thanks for a solid contribution to the artistic culture truly ,Ethan aka aveanth

Long lifespan is useless if one is just throwing the time away. (for example, the people who say “oh, they grow up so fast”; it only seems fast if you aren’t actually involved in their lives.
@ Krof Gninut:
actually all time spent on an adventure (whether it be, discovery, exploration or life itself) seems fast when its at a close…i have had a lost of fun….but at the end it all seems short.
