I'm trying something new... something a bit more serious to what I usually do and something different to anything I suppose I've done before. I call it Infinity. Infinity will be a 5+ chapter series chronicling a slow and meandering plot initially set before its own conception upon its conception all the way up to the end of its fifth chapter at which point a shift should occur in which it branches out into a fully realised story arc per chapter- complete with a specific theme in mind for each story arc. Chapters 1 through 5 will consist of 5 parts each- parts that will consist of any number of individual issues. Each chapter and part will be called something vague yet relative to the essential underlying theme in the chapter or part so as not to lay seige to any potential impact of any potential punchline. Each strip will be numbered individually and separate from its chapter and part for ease of reference... for myself mostly, but also for anybody who might actually read my drudgery in case they wanted to look back on an issue. Each strip will also have its own title to allow for easy grouping of any potential mini-series within a chapter.

 

After the first 5 chapters, I intend to deviate and split the whole series into a collection of sub-series just as long and convoluted, with the initial Infinity continuing onward for an indefinite amount of time.

I wanted to make something that I could heavily invest a great deal of thought into. Something that could help me to get better at stripping and to further refine my humour whilst assisting me in taking what I learn and have learned over time and reflecting on it or even simply finding some usefulness for it. I wanted it to be long and winding, and for it to have no real direction yet still yearn to be given one and for its insistence on the matter to culminate into a product of that almost-perfection so many people strive towards in what they enjoy doing. I wanted it to achieve this after not days or months but rather years or even decades. Something that I could really drown my brain in, so to speak.

Due to the large nature of the project, I decided that all Infinity-related content that I make will go into a single thread.

The first chapter will be called Rebirth. It's first Part being titled Catatonia. As usual, any criticism is most welcome as it helps me to better myself. Also as usual, here are the first 5:

 

{Infinity: #1} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Silence Without Noise by Beeko180 9-08-15

Do you think we should say something funny? Quiet. He's going for deadpan. Wow! Neverland sure is amazing, Mr. Peter, sir! Say, how do you keep your eyes open like that for so long without tearing up? Can you teach me?

{Infinity: #2} Rebirth ; Catatonia - An Insalubrious Attempt by Beeko180 9-08-15

That was terribly uncouth. This whole thing is terribly uncouth. What exactly is your point? I just expected something more tried and true. Also, there was a distinct lack of inside humour. I quite like inside humour. To be more concise, the entire thing reeked of a cheap metaphorical odour. Inside humour will cost fye dolla. I don't like inside humour anymore. It's too expensive. You can like or dislike whatever you want; however, that character usage will still cost you five dollars American.

{Infinity: #3} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Nasal (I) by Beeko180 9-08-15

Do you ever wonder what the little dip thing above the lips and just under the nose on a human is called? You mean the philtrum? Yeah, what even is the point of that thing? As I recall it's designed to assist in guiding nasal fluid around the lips when combined with the natural impress surrounding them. There's probably a joke about nostril coitus in there somewhere. Dumb Deviant Daniel Dickerson thought that if he engaged in nostril coitus rather than anal rape the tears of his "sexual partner" would assist in better lubrication.Sadly however...

{Infinity: #4} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Nasal (II) by Beeko180 9-08-15

Naturally, he was wrong. He was 'Dumb Deviant Daniel Dickerson'. Also, that's not exactly entirely relevant to the pseudo-fact you gave about the philtrum thing. I do say, what is that most curious line thing just there? I just discovered that you have an autism level exceeding my capacity for tolerance of people who are not me. My capacity for that is zero. As such, as social dictum dictates, I have conjured a gene pool border. All the gene pools that are not okay are now on your side of the panel. Now go pseudo-nasalFUCK yourself.

{Infinity: #5} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Split Up by Beeko180 9-08-15

...I just feel like we don't share the same space anymore like we used to. You have your end of the panel, and I have mine. This divide between us is splitting us in two. I have my boundaries. I expect you to be considerate of them.

{Infinity: #6} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Circular by Beeko180 9-08-15

Why are you taller than me? Because you're shorter than me. What? Nothing.

{Infinity: #7} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Manifest by Beeko180 9-08-15

No, what was that? I realised a thing. Hypothetically if all that somebody knew of was what is known as reality, then reality would be what they know of in chronological order existing at the same time, right? ... like space-time and stuff in space-time, right? If so, that would make their knowledge and all that happened as a consequent result of that knowledge the building blocks of reality. So if nobody had observed anything previous to the start of this comic strip nor anything that happened afterwards, this would be reality. Uh... What? So from now on you're a pile of shit. I don't have to explain how or why. The writer doesn't. Nobody does. You're just a pile of shit. Yay.

{Infinity: #8} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Usage by Beeko180 9-08-15

So, because 'philosophy', I'm now a pile of shit? Precisely. How shitty... Well, you know what they say... 'When shit hits the fan, you just gotta let it fly'. Who the fuck says that? Nobody says that horseshit. What? That's bullshit. I swear I've heard somebody say some shit like that somewhere...

{Infinity: #9} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Break by Beeko180 9-08-15

I need to go to the bathroom. I sense a shitty shit joke. If you want, I can add another ten minutes to the autism wall. Nevermind. *cries-inwardly*

{Infinity: #10} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Substantiate by Beeko180 9-08-15

How many piles of shit does it take to screw in a light bulb? Something, something, black hole. Something, something, shitty shit joke. Oop! Look at that. Up goes the autism wall. I'm really trying. I swear. The fact that you have to try as hard as you do to squeeze out something funny is further proof of why there needs to be an autism wall.

Moar Infinity:

{Infinity: #11} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Carpe' Di-on't by Beeko180 9-08-15

What is life? Is there a world that exists outside of this endless charade? What endless expanse of effervescence in great magnitude could there be instead of but this? Loneliness- this indescribable segregation from a better social standard. What I would give for a vast empty void of nothing filled with infinite opportunity to experience better. Ergh. That colour scheme. I think we're fine here for now. I concur.

{Infinity: #12} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Specificality by Beeko180 9-08-15

I have a question. An African is born an albino. Another individual is born of a heavy Eastern European ancestry and as a result has a pale complexion at birth quite similar to the albino. I'm with you so far... Remove the knowledge of their ancestry. To the eyes one would still be able to discern that the albino is of African descent and the European is of European descent. From this, and with some added thought, one can conclude that it is not skin pigmentation that actually defines a race but rather the similarities that said race shares heavily among each other. So if in regards to people, black isn't necessarily black and white isn't necessarily white, does that mean that genetically white people can be more black than white and vice versa? I don't care how much sense you make. It doesn't matter how much you like rap music, you can't call yourself Tupac Shakur's 'Fellow nigga's nigga from a cracka motha'.

{Infinity: #13} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Biodiversity by Beeko180 9-09-15

Do you know how I got burned? You didn't get burned. You're a steaming fresh pile of shit. If anything, you got shat. I was just sitting around minding my own business when 'BAM!'- fire. Lots of it. I used to be really good looking too so you can imagine my shock when it happened. I was too pretty to deserve that. Before you were a steaming fresh pile of shit you were nothing, like me but not me since even as a voidless anti-entity thing I was still something compared to you. Why can't you love me? "It's my nature", said the scorpion.

{Infinity: #14} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Expectation by Beeko180 9-12-15

Did you hear? Hear what? Everybody is expecting to hear what I heard when I never actually heard anything! Idiots. So what did you hear?

{Infinity: #15} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Grey by Beeko180 9-12-15

What's this? The emptiness is grey? 'The emptiness' is a bit of a misnomer if you consider the fact that 'the emptiness' is filled with things. What else are we supposed to call it? It most as well be empty. It's 9/10th's empty. The grave of Gary Coleman, I guess. You do realise how stupid that sounds, right? There are such a thing as coffin sizes. No way... they have midget coffins? Cool....

{Infinity: #16} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Alphabetical by Beeko180 9-25-15

Why do rappers say "Boom- drop the mic!"? I don't think they say that. I think that's like black people and bicycles. It's more over a stereotype that lives on through humour than anything else. They must have said it at some point. Where else would it have come from? Movies, I guess. If not the profession then the profession to immitate it, the latter profession in question being acting. Isn't that always the way in such cases? That still begs to question why somebody would say it in the first place, even if one were immitating a rapper and were not actually a rapper themselves. Wait.. you're a pile of shit.. a black pile of shit. Black.. rap.. learning how to better rap.. STOP IT! STOP TRYING TO BE BLACK! WE'RE NOT THE A-TEAM. WE DON'T NEED A TOKEN BLACK GUY!

{Infinity: #17} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Mortal by Beeko180 10-24-15

You're not as tall as you once were. You used to stare into the heart of the sun when you were sitting and break through the heights of the very universe itself when you would stand. But now you don't. Now you brush the tall grass with your shoulders as you walk among it and the trees that were once mere weeds to you, tower over you. You're not as tall as you once were and yet somehow amidst the facts your new reality as harsh as it may be, you still manage to seem as if you feel your height is just the same as it ever was. You won a single game of checkers. Fuck yourself if you think that warrants gloating on a scale that large. I AM VICTORY! HEAR MY ROAR IN MIGHTY TRIUMPH! AAAAAAGHOUGHAGHAGHA!!!!!

{Infinity: #18} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Riddler by Beeko180 10-24-15

I have a riddle for you. Three of one, I am. Exactly two of three, I am not. Th- The number three. Let me finish. Three of one, I am. Exactly two of thr- I don't have to let you finish, though. I know the answer. It's 'the number three'. COULD YOU FUCKING LET ME FINISH? FUCK! I could do that, yes. I won't, though, because I hate you. I hate you, your riddles, and everything you stand for. Go fuck yourself riddleman.

{Infinity: #19} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Partial by Beeko180 10-24-15

I'm ever so curious... I know what I am... but what are you? I think I represent a poetic form of the state of a sort of "partial non-existance" that another witnesses in certain individuals. I don't believe in you. You don't believe in me, or do you mean to say that you don't believe me? Can it be both? I guess one sort of implies the other... if you don't believe in something then you don't believe in that something's existance and therefore cannot really believe that something.

{Infinity: #20} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Territorial by Beeko180 10-24-15

GIVE ME FREEDOM! What kind of freedom? Freedom of speech, freedom to vote, freedom from racial oppression, freedom of sexual orientation, freedom of thought, freedom in your actions, spiritual freedom, religious freedom... ...emotional freedom, financial freedom- The last one. I can buy the rest with it. Sure, but in return for such a gift, you must pay tribute in the form of a chest of gold every third month of the year, every year and then go and fuck yourself, hippy.

{Infinity: #21} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Just Like Me by Beeko180 11-01-15

I have a question. All right. Let's get down to it. Hit me with your best shot. Come on... hit me with your best shot. Fire away. If we're in an endless void of nothingness and so far assumedly this is all there is, all there ever was, and at the moment- probably all there ever will be, how do we know pop culture references? That's LSD talking. Oh... now you're wide awake in dreamland. Chemical decisions never turn out like you planned." Are you quoting Pat Benatar lyrics out of context to make fun of me or to take a subtle and poetic approach to intimidating me into not looking deeper into this issue? It could be either one. Though I do like to shake you up and put you down- run you all around and drive you crazy.

{Infinity: #22} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Oh No by Beeko180 11-05-15

Do you know what I know, and if so how do you know that you know what I know if you knowing that you know what I know hinges on the uncertainty that what you know is true? Ha, Ha. That's smart. I think. But only because I don't understand what the fuck you're talking about.

{Infinity: #23} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Propositional by Beeko180 12-14-15

I had a thought. What a dangerous decision you've taken to making. However will we recover from this? What if you aren't real? Hello? Sorry, I thought if I could stay quiet for a split second you'd assume that I wasn't, in fact, real and therefore make the rather astute choice to stop talking stupid at me.

{Infinity: #24} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Violate by Beeko180 1-07-16

Did you hear the one about the zookeeper who lost control of a rabbit after it went crazy? Please... don't... He said that things got a bit hare-y - Hahaha! You have no idea how much pain that joke just caused me. I guess you could say the RABID went a bit RABID! - Hahahaha! Just fucking die already.

{Infinity: #25} Rebirth ; Catatonia - Void by Beeko180 2-20-16

I can't see. Implicating that you could see before... as a pile of autistic shit. That's incredibly insensitive. And that's incredibly sensitive. Why do you always make fun of me? This is a serious issue. We can't see and you're making light of it. Is there another solution to not seeing? I thought making light was a perfect solution to the problem.
