This is Folly: The Consequences of Indescretion by Hans Rickheit, published by fantagraphics. I followed many of these strips online, as they were being produced. I even commissioned one of the strips myself (it happens to be the one used on the cover).

Get to know the surreal, disturbing, yet addicting world of Hans Rickheit. You won’t be sorry. If you want a huge sampling of his work, go to http://chromefetus.com/page1.html

Page 3 of The Animist (working title). What is happening on this page? The lead character, Reid Brennan, is recounting his troubles with the local community college, which has recently become a part of the university system. His problems are not with the university, though. Apparently, there was a big shakeup when his colleague, Boz Miller, attempted to murder another professor (Dr. Trent Wertham) over some kind of dispute. Now unemployed, while watching his favorite physics program on television, Reid laments the lax role that he played in that dispute… even though the part that he played represents no actual guilt, he still thinks that he could have prevented the whole ordeal had he been a better friend and been a better listener (which becomes clearer on page 4). Here on this page we see the camera roll back to show planet earth and the sun, in outer space as Reid recalls the last year. Then it pulls back even further and we see that Reid is watching the earth and the sun on television. When Reid emerges fully into the fourth panel, he reveals that the focus of his anger is himself. His back remains turned to the “camera”, to further emphasize his sense of isolation and guilt.
