I think I get it:
The unsuspecting fellow steps into the slide out of curiosity, and ends up in a room from which the only exit is a narrow slot he can't fit through. Perhaps through discussions with his future selves: he figures out his fate: he's trapped in the room for five days until he turns into a fox costume and goes flat and limp, and even then his previous self must fold him up and feed him through the slot, after which this company puts him in a box and sells him.
Now that's a unique business plan!

Thanks. I'm actually a big fan of your work, and you OBVIOUSLY put an immense amount of effort, and thought into your creations--you make intentional art. I didn't mean to come off as belligerent, I was attempting to be humorous and it was really late at night.
As you're clearly aware, it's hard to be taken seriously as an artist on a furry art website. I get it all the time myself, with careless comments displaying a palpable disrespect for the effort and intention of the artwork being critiqued--but I've developed a pretty solid aloofness towards that sort of attention and I usually laugh off any meme-related or stupid attempts on humor on my page.
But now that I understand your personal desire to use FA as a vehicle for *thoughtful* artistic critique and commenting, I will respectfully refrain from silliness...
That being said let me give you a real comment about this piece.
It's a polished modernist nightmare and I don't mean that in a bad way. It reminds me of Chris Ware but it has this clean digital feel to it that calls to mind product diagrams and disassociated simulation programs (which is your intent, I believe). It's darkly humorous while at the same time having a frightening ambiance to it, as it forces the viewer to witness the solitude and mutation of the hapless lad that enters the building... it has the creepy-but-goofy quality to it that is indicative of your style. My favorite part is the fox-man on the bed with his arse in the air.

I love silliness, and insight isn't a requirement! Even just "I like this!" is cool. I do wish you had thought about how your comment would come off before you'd hit "Add Reply". This has become a way huger case than either of us wants it to be. 4ch-ish memes have pissed me off for a while and sadly, you were the straw that broke the camel's back. Even you must admit that your comment sounds pretty trollish, and I hope you can appreciate why I blocked you pre-emptively. It's not because I want you to give me a super deep and insightful analysis (although that's what you've done, thank you!), it's because your comment read as kind of jerkish and detatched in a way that I've seen in dozens of trolls. And yeah, I've dealt with trolls a lot, and most of the time when I try to laugh them off or humor them it just becomes a huge mess and I wish I'd blocked them after they made the first comment. I understand that your intention wasn't to troll. But I don't know you. There was no way of knowing what the hell you meant by that.
Anyway, jeez. Enough of that. Tthanks for the comment. That's exactly what I was going for!

Hey Swatcher
I initially didn't want to post on this, but I kinda feel compelled. :c
With stuff like this, it's hard not to say "what"
I think especially on a sort of sense of how sad and sorta traumatic of this sort of TF.. slowly regurgitating into paranoia and being trapped while slowly turning into a fox suit and die.
And to be honest, it would've never been affective had it wasn't detailed and laid out nicely here. so in sorts, 'what' is a victory.
Thanks for your hard work,

Well, it's also not hard to leave a thoughtful comment like you just have, even if you find this sort of creepy, that's alright! I don't want to be one of those people who flip out over negative comments. That's just silly.:P
As for suit guy, rest assured, he's not dead! He's so blissed out that he doesn't even want to move. Naturally, he'll come back to life when someone else puts him on, but that is not pictured here.

Ok I know this is like 5 years old but I this is so fucking dark it gave me chills. Like it's so...sad and desperate and watching the guy watch other people's timelines and have to like grow and learn to understand them is so intense. I remember seeing this years ago and not understanding it at all and now that I do I'm honestly blown away? Like this is amazing man this is...I want everyone in the world to see this honestly this is so fucked up. I love this. I might have some nightmares though because this is really effectively terrifying lmfao. That sense of being trapped and having to come to terms with...basically your own death and deal with seeing yourself essentially die is so like...readable in this? Like you can really get a sense of it? I'm vaguely, vaguely reminded of that web game "every day the same dream" but mostly because I think the infographic super-anonymous "everyman" style to the guy makes the repetition really...tangible? Like it's a smart style to use in something of this subject matter because it's already so associated with Sameness so it works so perfectly as being the exact same guy at different timelines. Ok anyway did I mention I love this. I do.
