Sartre Writes Nausea
https://www.facebook.com/usaatodaynewss for now.
![Telling people "write what you know" is how we ended up with 100 books about somewhat depressed, aimless 30 year old men who are struggling to write a novel.
Sartre: "Sex is gross. Sometimes when I'm having sex i think about ants, centipedes and ringworm crawling all over everything."
de Beauvoir: "Why are you telling me this?"
Sartre: "Uh, you know...for deep existential reasons. Because I alone realize the full extent of my freedom and stuff."
Sartre: "Also because insects are just so gross."
de Beauvoir: "So how's the novel coming? Are those your notes?"
Sartre: "Oh, uh yeah, great. It's going to totally reinvent literature."
de Beauvoir: "Let me see."
de Beauvoir: "Wait, is this it? You talking about how ants are gross? And...looking at a tree?"
Sartre: "Well they are gross. And trees are weird when you really look at them."
de Beauvoir: "Sartre, what the hell? No one is going to read this."
Sartre: "I have other stuff too!"
de Beauvoir: "Oh yeah, like what?"
Sartre: "I have this great idea about someone who is trying to write a book but having a hard actually sitting down and writing it."
de Beauvoir: "Can i see that part?"
Sartre: "This may shock you but i haven't so much written that part yet, i was busy looking at trees."](http://static.existentialcomics.com/comics/SartreWritesNausea.png)
