I perceive Beckett’s this well known as a pretty dark one. It’s very sarcastic and I guess, Beckett2s quote here is mostly misunderstood as well as Beckett himself.

Fail better quote is an open rebellion against the expectations of society and this “success addiction”, “fetishism of better and more”. These are such petty beliefs which rely on a structure of society where individuals’ actions serve to the improvement of great masses. However, no one talks about how discouraging our social strutcture, people and the system we’re living in are.

What Beckett meant by his quote is: Do what “you” do, do it more often and more intensely. Mostly, others will call it failure. Then fail, try again and fail again. And fail better. No mater what others expect, be who you are. Even it means to fail constantly, have failure. But only, be yourself. Do not be ashamed of it. There is no single form of truth.

[...] something for the sake of creating. Where the point is to fail, and try again the next day, and fail again better. Repeat. Once a week, or once a day (or more than once a day!) in the younger grades, students [...]

You should try writing a continuous story!
Your comics are amazingly inspirational and I’m quite sure you could integrate a lot of the important themes discussed here into a series.
I, for one, would pay to read that
Kudos!

Waiting for Godot is something I imagine would be more easy to read than watch. I read it as part of a high school English class, and while it wasn’t bad, it wasn’t entirely thrilling either. I ended up really liking it overall (I’m not quite sure why), but you definitely have to keep in mind that the premise is a bit absurd and then just go with it. I can’t imagine sitting through it.

This one I like much more. Especially the Viking offering the helping hand, after your little dude won his respect.
