This is two panels too long, imo.
Change the first panel’s text to “Forgive me, Helen, I’ve changed!”, the second’s to “Have you, Theseus?”, and you’re done, lol.
I needed the little punchline in panel 3 to remember it.
Who stop there? Make it one panel with stacked speech bubbles.
The punchline should be on its own panel to create a natural temporal gap between it and the setup, for the reader. :)
insert joke of Theseus here
Please clap.
She’s got 999 other ships to choose from.
This situation trivialized the original thought experiment. It doesn’t matter if every piece has been replaced, what effects her life negatively is the overall behaviour which is by definition the same as before.
So the last panel should say something like: different wood but still the same issues.
Counterpoint: Making positive lifestyle changes can result in a more positive outlook which in turn leads to more positive social interactions.
Would rebuilding his face not be akin to someone getting in shape and thus feeling and acting better.
Sure but that’s not what ship of Theseus is about, in the thought experiment the ship is replaced piece by piece, but looks exactly the same. It is, for all intents and purposes, identical, meaning no minor improvements. But physically different.
