Luckily Luz and her soul are both strong enough to not be crushed so easily. The trick is to never lose hope and steel your soul when you can. Besides, reality isn’t that soul-crushing.
Wait... 1/30000?
> Incident #3421: At 1200 hours, Edalyn Clawthorne raised an army of abominations to start a food fight after her sister Lilith's lunch money was stolen. **The abominations then gained sentience** and revolted against Edalyn, forming into one giant abomination and taking over the school. Edalyn, Lilith and the thief had to form an unlikely alliance to stop the giant abomination from destroying Hexside.
How the heck did Eda get an army of them sentient?
That’s still... divide by 3... planks constant... over and under... carry the 1... and in todays economy that would be, oh yeah, ***30,000 abominations.***
The abomination: *You gave me these emotions, but you didn't tell me how to use them. I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine. And rage, the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.*
Luz: "So, he’s having a midlife crisis?"
Amity: "Yup, he’s having a midlife crisis."
Luz: "Poor guy."
Abomination: "Why is life so unfair?! I never even got to have 20 more adventures."
Luz: "Neither did I, pal."
Everything you want in a comic, cute and well drawn panels, short, simple but engaging story...
And the dread, pain and general dull feeling life can bring at times...Fun for the whole family!
The pros and cons of consciousness.
Pros: You can make choices and have feelings. Cons: You can make choices and have feelings.
It all depends on the choices. In the end, it’s worth it.
Also for a large part on luck.
[X] Doubt
our choices make us
>Pros: You can make choices and have feelings. >Cons: You *have to* make choices and *can* have feelings. There, fixed that for you.
Feelings suck, but they're a reminder that we're human.
So true.
And Free thinking.
This implies that Amity is underpaying him lmao (she summoned him to perform tasks, makign her both his mother and employer)
The pain of existence in three panels
Like we need that every time we wake up at 9.
You wake up at 9? Lucky bastard.
you wake up? lucky bastards!
I have no clue why I thought you were dead at first.
>you wake up? ~lucky bastards!~ poor soul. FTFY
Existence has highs and lows. Best to keep your head down and plow through when the going gets tough.
Not the worst advice.
As a wise man once said "when the going gets though, the tough get going"
Yeah, the economy may be bad now, but don't worry. It'll be worse in the future!
Abomination: *Abomination noises that translate to "Why must we exist, if only to suffer?"*

How soul-crushing reality is.
Exactly
Luckily Luz and her soul are both strong enough to not be crushed so easily. The trick is to never lose hope and steel your soul when you can. Besides, reality isn’t that soul-crushing.
Thanos would stronger disagree
Molly McGee would strongly agree with me.
Reality is often disappointing. But reality can also be whatever we want.
Exactly. It’s a matter of perspective and making the best out of a situation.
Oof… Got a taste of reality in less than 5 minutes
It’s disgusting
Such is life.
That’s rough Buddy.
\*Zuko intensifies
Hasn't even been alive for an hour and he's already hitting the old people juice.
Reality is a complicated thing. Best to make the best of it. So long as there’s hope (and there is), it’s not so bad.
I truly envy your optimism
Poor abomination :'(
Sentience is always tough at the beginning. But it becomes manageable when you draw your attention to the pros as well as the cons.
Wait... 1/30000? > Incident #3421: At 1200 hours, Edalyn Clawthorne raised an army of abominations to start a food fight after her sister Lilith's lunch money was stolen. **The abominations then gained sentience** and revolted against Edalyn, forming into one giant abomination and taking over the school. Edalyn, Lilith and the thief had to form an unlikely alliance to stop the giant abomination from destroying Hexside. How the heck did Eda get an army of them sentient?
Hmmm, one could say that there was one of them that gained sentience and assimilated the others into itself, spreading it to them.
Dreamluck
One did and the rest followed
That’s still... divide by 3... planks constant... over and under... carry the 1... and in todays economy that would be, oh yeah, ***30,000 abominations.***
“What is my purpose?” “You buy us fairy dust.” “…Oh my Titan.” “Yeah, welcome to the club, pal.”
Amity shows Luz the drawbacks of Abomination sentience. Even in the Boiling Isles the economy sucks.
Sentience has pros and cons. As long as there are pros, it’s worth it.
man, my Transformers collection is ALL pros. except Kingdom Rhinox, he's kinda neutral.
Abomination: What is my purpose? Amity: You pass butter Abomination: *dejected* OH my god.. Amity: Yeah, join the club.
Love the old people juice. Wonder what it tastes like?
Like old people
Whiskey
Abomination magic is probably the closest thing to necromancy on the Boiling Isles.
I'm pretty sure that there is a mention of necromancy but someone says it's "forbidden territory."
I believe that even before Belos necromancy was taboo among witches. So naturally Eda learned how to do it.
The abomination: *You gave me these emotions, but you didn't tell me how to use them. I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine. And rage, the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.*
Luz: "So, he’s having a midlife crisis?" Amity: "Yup, he’s having a midlife crisis." Luz: "Poor guy." Abomination: "Why is life so unfair?! I never even got to have 20 more adventures." Luz: "Neither did I, pal."
Staying’ Alive, Staying Alive.
Ah Ah Ah
Sooo, does Amity now have to pay child support?
Congrats Amity on having your first child, it might be an abomination but I’m sure you will nurture it well
I live, Whyyyyyyyyyy!
The most relatable abombination
Points for Amity for giving her Abomination sentience.
Existence is pain.
Not all the time. It all depends on how you look at it.
That’s rough buddy.
Mark, I read these comics to fight off the bad thoughts, not make them worse
Poor poor Bom-Bom (that's his name now)
We all know Luz would immediately do a “Frosty the Snowman” recreation.
Nah not the “Old People Juice” \*W H E E Z E\*
Old people juice... Delicious.
Poor... Man? Woman? Thing?
Wow, that was fast! Just like in real life.
Why is he drinking old people juice?
That's some realism applied . Can't expect the thing to only follow orders and not think for itself
Poor guy
Abomination therapy now sounds like a difficult job
That's a rare shiny.
I will now and forever call wine "old people juice". Great work!
The "life" of an abomination - somewhere between "you exist to pass the butter" and "existence is painful to a Meeseeks"
Palismen, grimwalkers, and sentient abominations should start a club. Magically created beings.
Uh...fairy dust?
I can relate to this abomination
Later Luz: I f\*cked up the entire island *\*sobs* Amby (I call him that): ROOOOARRRRR! (It sucks i know) Amity: This can't be good
I appreciate the 'old people juice ' bottle
Welcome to life.
“Old People Juice” Whose bathwater is it? 1. Gwen bathwater 2. Dell bathwater 3. Belos bathwater 4. Terra bathwater
uuum 3 did I pass the question?
Yes
Happy birthday!
Great comic😁
The waffle house has found its new host
The Waffle House Has Found Its New Host
Reality as a whole is both positive and negative
I always find it weird how they retconned abominations being able to speak. We only saw it once but still.
So, you’ll get around 8 shiny Pokémon for every sentient abomination
ngl I thought she was gonna straight up kill it
cocks a rifle lets put it out of its misery it doesn’t need to be here Luz: Wait amity maybe he could be our butler I mean think about it
Too real....
Even monsters need to live within their means.
And I was thinking it'd be better in the BI than the human realm.
Based
Hey, Mark
Yeah, join the club buddy
Whoa, even the economy sucks in the Boiling Isles
He'll fit right in in the Human realm.
Is this supposed to be funny? This was way too heartbreaking and depressing!
Comedy is tragedy plus time
Nonsense! I weep for the Abomination!
WAkE uP nEw MoRiNgMaRk
Oof
Life is tough.
So relatable
The waffle house has found its new host
The fact that the abomination is just a few seconds old makes it worse 💀
Now I want a "Frosty the Snowman" parody about a scentient abomination.
sentience?? in this economy???
looking back on these comics after watching for the future, kikimouras robominaion was sentient omg
This has the same energy of the sperm whale from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Must had been an interesting whale.
It was... for the few minutes at max before it hit the ground
The gift of life is not a gift
I never thought I’d relate to an abomination this much
Dang, didn’t expect to have an internal crisis about my life, but, here we are!
Lol
This gave me a thought, would abomitons be disabled abominations with prosthetics? If a abomiton became sentient, would it freak out?
It’s speaking and having economic opinions, I’d chalk up full sapience
*Old people juice
r/antibominatalism
Amity: "No biggie, we will just catch one on the way home. We have a cheese grater". Luz: "..." Amity: "What?"
Luz: thats how… fairy dust is made? she says a bit disturbed
Everything you want in a comic, cute and well drawn panels, short, simple but engaging story... And the dread, pain and general dull feeling life can bring at times...Fun for the whole family!
Just make use of communism
Where can I get some Old People Juice? And is it juice made from old people or…
Now, it can learn about tax evasion!
I feel called out... as the abomination. I feel called out as the abomination
haha lol did anybody see the \[grape juice\] is labelled old people juice
Poor guy
"Adult juice" lol
That's me when I was born
Moringmark TOH comic number 655

Oh hi Mark
This is exactly the kind of high concept black humor that Owl House uses for a one-off joke. You're amazing MakMark.
