Only when every King is dead will the pawns finally have the freedom to, uh...move backwards.

Also, check out the real time chess game I made, it's a remake of an old game Kung Fu Chess, at www.kungfuchess.org. All the pieces can move away once, then have to recharge. It's like 1000 time more fun than chess. Also, please join the discord, which is the place I am most friendly and will actually talk to people, including about the comic. Also follow my twitter.com/KungFuChessOrg twitter account for chess jokes. Also do me a favor and help me bully Eric Rosen into playing on Twitch more often. You can see him play against the greatest Kung Fu Master of all time here:

"What is the meaning of life?"

Will answering it get me funding for my research project? No? Then who cares?

"Also, if humans have free will, why are they just choosing to destroy their own planet? Something isn't adding up."

"Thinking about stuff? No, society is fine how it is, we just need to do engineering to make things more efficient"

Elon Musk? No, it is based on a different guy who is also a moron.
