The More You Take Out, the Bigger It Gets

12. Holes Don't Exist

The first line of this strip is something a kid from primary school used to say, which I recalled while sitting around one day trying to come up with an idea for a joke. And yet, I'm not really sure there is a joke here. It just seems like some stuff that goes on. The one guy brings up this somewhat interesting piece of logic, which prompts the other guy to ponder the very nature of the universe.
 These two guys (who later became known as the Beat Panel Pals) have since become sort of the de facto protagonists and mascots of the Million Masterpiece Project (see the top of this blog), so I guess it's fitting that this is the first multi-panel comic strip Masterpiece. It's funny how they've ended up coming so far (even going on to star in the Internet Adventure), since it certainly wasn't planned in any way. By a mighty stroke of luck, I think these guys are also the most aesthetically pleasing of all the standard Masterpiece characters, possibly due to their being symmetrical to eachother.
