How would you improve it?

It's not my favourite of theirs, but I also don't have to put out a regular comic about philosophers.

It ends on the epitome of cultural landfill, which is pop culture references.

There could have been so many different ways to go about this, like suddenly flipping the roles and the one receiving questions starts asking them.

Or a reverse psychology where the opposite questions start getting asked.

Or even introducing a third character with their own distinctive opinion.

Instead it defaults to "Americans think Asian man doing big moves on big screen funny hurdur"... so that's what was added. So utterly disappointing it can't be called comedy.

The whole comic was just a big exercise in silliness, rather than deep humor, such as when the skeptic claimed that the dog "could be a cat".

But anyway, I would love to see the far superior philosophy-related comics that you have been working on!
