I’m realizing that philosophy podcasts are an excellent source of inspiration for comics. Today’s comic is inspired by first episode of the relatively new podcast SpaceTimeMind, with philosophers Pete Mandik and Richard Brown, which I recommend checking out.

Of course I am assuming here that my readers are familiar with the notion of p-zombies (or philosophical zombies). In case you’re not, this old comic might help.

I should also mention that the comic was partially inspired by Ben (I’ll link to his blog here, even though he hasn’t updated it in almost two years) who mentioned how fantastic it would be if our friend Mark (who you may remember from guest comics, see here and here), a great lover of sensory experiences, turned out to be a p-zombie.

Finally, so long as I am plugging things – if you like metal, you might want to check out my good friend Noel’s band Korpsik, which just released a new album. Here’s a video of theirs, a touching ode to faith.
