The cosmogony in this comic is pretty close to what I believe, lol
I think the idea is that it’s a bad dream for him because he won’t make it as a musician
I’ve read 12 of Vonnegut’s books. He is fundamentally a social progressive, but there are also some moments in some 70s novels (particularly Breakfast of Champions) that I find homophobic. He also has a habit of making women either passive pleasers or full nutso.
But he also explicitly and repeatedly pushes kindness, egalitarian social justice, and willingness to change.
I highly highly recommend every human read Mother Night.
That’s not his views… that’s from an essay where he’s parodying the mainstream ultrasimplification of political alignment.

You left out some language that I think clears up his ironic tone:
If you want to take my guns away from me, and you’re all for murdering fetuses, and love it when homosexuals marry each other, and want to give them kitchen appliances at their showers, and you’re for the poor, you’re a liberal.
If you are against those perversions and for the rich, you’re a conservative.
What could be simpler?
Totally changes it, doesn’t it?
He also said his fatal mistake was making one of the tools too closely resemble a saw

“Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college.”

Someone explain ballplay to me
Being beaten to a bloody pulp is fine and dandy, but how am I going to earn my money back?
ahahaha I love when trolls can’t help but be carefully honest… you “backed” Clinton and Sanders aka you didn’t vote for Sanders and then Biden and suddenly get redpilled by a Brandon Straka hoax campaign, you didn’t vote for anyone at all! How’s the weather there in Olgino?
Who did you vote for in 2016 and 2020?
Nonzero chance that abiogenesis occurred in there
