Angriest Rice Cooker Director’s Cut 25–On pretension

Sometimes Angriest Rice Cooker comics come straight out of my own though processes. This is one of those comics. I’m not sure if the premise of the punchline actually comes through. The idea of it is that by even thinking about this, the rice cooker ensures that he will certainly be pretentious and will never need to fake it. I think I kind of threw the last panel in in order to make it a sort of joke, but the important part of this comic for me is the question in the first two panels. I still don’t actually know the answer. It’s a kind of zen koan.

And by “kind of zen koan” I mean “stupid zen koan.”

Is it possible to fake pretension. Or does that pretense make one pretentious for real? That I’m even considering this ensures that I’ll never have to worry.
