I love all of Ed’s philosophy about the larger concepts in the world. I personally *love* Ed’s description of evil later in the story. Probably the best description I’ve ever read!
No, Demon = Force of Nature. Big difference. Like the difference between a temperate climate (Nature) and a Wildfire or Cat 5 Hurricane (Force of Nature).
Wow, I now have a greater understanding of Ed’s difficulty in putting these kinds of concepts into words!
I am still in wonder and in awe of the way Ursula developed the character of Ed in such a way as to combine great childlike innocence with an equal measure of seasoned wisdom.
Even beyond “force of nature”, I think what Ed’s getting at here is “personification of force of nature”. A wildfire or a hurricane still aren’t demons, but could be caused by fire or storm demons.
That last panel may be my favourite drawing of Ed.
I love the fire wisdom. It’s just being fire, it can’t help you being burned. I feel that way about the shadowchild thus far.
One of the best ways I’ve ever heard of paraphrasing the concept of “force of nature”.

(BTW, should you come back and read this, you wouldn’t by any chance be Jaynee from the EE Lounge, would you? Just curious … welcome, either way … )

Wonderful bits of philosophy sprinkled all through this strip! I have to tell more folks to check it out 😉
I bet could have easily draw a picture of a demon, especially with his “in head, no words,” comment. Many artists have this problem.
