| Cartoonist becomes grandpa |
His happy arrival in Brandon and Olivia's (and our) lives overshadows the glum view of Dr. Q. Did Qoheleth never have children or grandchildren? The text suggests he did, so how do we account for his sour disposition? We'll answer that question as the graphic novel progresses.
For now, this child is a powerful anodyne to existential glum. How can a newborn not inspire hope, faith, & love?
For all the puzzlements of providence there are hints (big ones in swaddling clothes) that life is meaningful, significant, and purposeful. Ecclesiastes isn't the last word in philosophy, religion, politics, science, or psychology. Thank God.
