this could be trickier! ;)

I think that ladder is still climbable, with practice, due to the footholds. If desperate, he could get to the top of that wall.

He may know he can, in fact, and is using his resources to pass the time until a danger passes? How did he start the fire? Rubbing two sticks together? That would take forever..

The artist has given the onlooker the answer. The choice of freedom is not an issue anymore.

wasn't it: 'Live free or die trying'

Pole vault!

>>22044 If he can safely climb down somehow, there's an adventure to be had, no doubt. But I'm reminded of an old saying..

"Get busy living or get busy dying." ;)

Quite a delema here, huh? The comfort is short-lived and burns up with the wood. He cut wood from the top down so he's seen the other side. Obviously the fire was the best choice or he'd not be warming himself. He should have traded the wood for food.

Did you know there are people (in East Berlin) who liked it under the iron curtain? Everything was free; healthcare, education, public transport, freedom..no wait, not that one.
They completely ignore the fact that everyone was watched, looked or performed even a tiny bit Western and the Stasi would 'arrest' you.

>>22038 so lets say it's a 2 mile drop and then ice..as far as the eye can see. What would you do?

seems the cartoon man has made up his mind to stay put, unless he pole vaults over the wall. maybe he's already had a peak at the other side? maybe it's just water as far as the eye can see?

Freedom
