Tram of Thought: Comic strip about psychology, philosophy, society, engineering, and just life in all its gory glory

Comfort

A graph is presented, where from left to right: comfort curve falls, development curve is flat, then has a peek in the middle, then falls again. The peak is labeled 'comfort boundary'. On the left, a fat Triangle-person is pictured watching TV, remote in one hand, bottle in the other. In the middle, a whip-wielding, hat-wearing adventurer is posing happily, with a tribal magician behind them just about to put a pin in a small Triangle-person puppet. On the right, a broken Triangle-person is pictured, all disfigured, bruised, with bumps on the head, bones sticking out, broken leg and hand tied into a literal knot looking like a pretzel.
