This feels like a very Tumblr joke. Purple prose trying too hard to expand on a simple concept, ultimately losing any real connection to the starting context.
Comic Strips
Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

I thought it was just boredom but in a pretentious and French way...
The word is loaned 1:1 from the french word for boredom
Wait, what do you mean it's nameless? It's called Ennui? Is that not it's name?
The combination is ennui. Ennui is a conglomeration of despair inducing feelings, among which is the nameless horror.
Ah, ok. I thought it was an umbrella term, not a conglomerate.
Maybe more a consortium, or a concern. Definitely not a corporation; it's not publicly traded.
Sometimes frogs are brown.
They may have dyuers coloures.
Frogs aren't happy.....I had a frog in my back yard last year for 2 weeks. He just screamed bloody murder the entire time. Just hours and hours of screaming at 2am.
I don't know if he hopped away, or if he got eaten by a predator, but I feel like I appriciate the circle of life a little bit more knowing that fuckers probably dead.
He wasn't necessarily unhappy. He was probably horny, though.
That's a good stratagy. I'm going to go to the bar this weekend and just stand next to women. Then just start screaming as if I'm being stabbed, while a basket of puppies burn in a fire. All with an erection.
What could possibly go wrong?
It's worth a shot.
If you're eaten by a snake because you sound like a frog, I will enjoy the scientific paper that results.
What could possibly go wrong?
Lots of watery wet frog eggs in a pond near your bedroom window.
Nothing like empiricism.
N is Neville who died of ennui
The Gashlycrumb Tinies!
Fuck me... That's a real word.
Taken from french, maybe ? IDK, I'm not a languiste.
Yes. It's french for "boredom", but the kind of boredom that's results from life being too easy. It's like being an over-achieving student in a class where the teacher is focused on the kids who are struggling to catch up.
It actually translates to boredom in every context!
