I’m not sure I understand: Aren’t A and C supposed to be switched?
I think you flipflopped puddles and oceans.
I think you reversed A and C. :)
Yep A & C are definitely backward. I’m also not sure I get D either… I can understand lack of depth but not amount of warmth.
@Ed: A hastily dug grave is shallow, and likely still warm.
Put C where A is, A where D is and D where C is.
Only way it makes sense to me.
Puddles: warmer than graves!
I’m with everybody on A and C, but the grave bit makes sense. A hastily dug grave implies a recent murder, wherein the body would still be warm. Maybe I’ve just seen too many cop shows on TV, though. :)
Well, as well as teh puddle/ocean thing, should probably be specified as rain puddle. Some puddles of other things might fall under the warm end.
“A Softer World” version:
A = Puddle
B = Ocean
C = Hastily Dug Grave
D = Love
Hastily-dug graves are warm because they have a live body in them. Hence the title of the comic.
(not contributing anything to the conversation)
A and C are *ironically* reversed? Eh? Eh?
Well, the A and C business actually make sense in context. If you accidentally step in a puddle, it’s always deeper than you think. With the ocean, I believe this is trying to say that it’s shallower than you expected, it being the ocean and all.
I can’t agree with D though. Depth is certainly shallow, but how does one get warm when buried in the cold, cold ground?
@tudza, I think you’re reaching. By your logic, romance (our expectations of love) would replace love, and love would be E, right in the middle.
As for D, if the grave is hasty, I agree with @Marty Alchin: the body is still warm — and so is the person digging.
A hastly dug grave means it’s “fresh”, recently dug, “still warm”. I got it because we use that expression in Brazil a lot.
I just don’t think that a hastily dug grave and an Ocean are equally deep.
Whereas a puddle and love could possibly both be shallow, depending upon the nature of the love.
Yury M: what’s the Brazilian expression?
Love is as deep as a puddle and as warm as a hastily dug grave?
Gagarine:”ainda está quente” or “it’s still warm”.
A hastily dug grave is likely dug by the person who killed the corpse, most likely a crime of passion, hence the position on the warmth axis.
Plus, decomposition produces heat.
Mmm…snuggly.
perhaps because I live in a warm place, but puddle are never cold. The ocean is warm when shallow and cold when deep. So, A and C are all whacked out.
The hastily dug shallow grave makes good sense (boddy is recently murdered and still warm).
The whole love business, yeah, I guess. LOL
Love is, as always, right where it should be.
D and B make sense, A and C got switched by mistake.
@ People who criticize D: Its warm because of the body inside it.
A & C are backwards.
