Imagine Sartre, Beckett, and Nietzsche no-holds barred wrestling, Greco-Roman style. That has surprisingly little to do with this comic. Instead, Loath is a rabbit who ponders life's existential dilemma while trapped in an astral apartment building.

Plot
Plot is something that the comic has struggled with for over a year... but it's finally getting back on track. Loath and his fellow cartoons examine philosophical concepts and eternally try to break through the fourth (and sometimes fifth and sixth) wall.

Quotes
Here are some quotes that work into the theme of the comic. They come from various sources.
Do you believe that at the heart of the universe there is a room? Or do you believe that there is no heart to the universe, just down, down, and that the dark crow that rows back through the air marks us all for its own and darkness's? --Frederick Buechner
God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant, and the cat. He has no real style. He just keeps on trying other things. --Pablo Picasso
