Sorry for the lateness again. Very busy lately. Will set up auto posting someday soon probably to prevent stuff like this.

TEXT OF COMIC:

I don't understand the idea of reincarnation, actually.

There are two things that make your personality what it is. Nature and nurture. The parts that you're born with because of your genes, and the parts that you develop because of your experiences.

So if you're reborn in another body without your memory, then you don't have the same genes, and you don't remember your experiences... so how can it still be you?

I think they say that your personality is affected by experiences you had in previous lives, even though you don't remember them.

But I'd still lose all the parts of my identity that come from my genes.

What vital parts of your identity do you think are genetic?

My connoisseur-esque ability to appreciate the flavor of sugar.

You could be reincarnated as a lorikeet.
