Freedom is a tricky concept to pin down and define. Everyone seems to know what it is, or at least what they believe it to be, but very few people have an easy time writing down a definition. For good reason, too.

Contradictions in these definitions, particularly when put into practice, abound, sometimes without even knowing it or understanding it. Issues arise when they are discussed and people refuse to acknowledge them due to pre-existing conditions and beliefs. Slavery. Gay-rights. Cancel culture. Karen's. Drinking before noon on a Monday. The list goes on.

Stanley and Zacharey are going to spend the next few strips exploring the theory of freedom. What they find may surprise you. It might even offend you. Or it might not. It's entirely up to you.
