The Book of Bill Pages 46-89 Summary & Analysis

Pages 46-47 Summary

Page 46 depicts a zipper unzipping to reveal a glitched world beyond, with a small red image of a key on a meteor. Bill explains that humans can’t understand the truth of complex reality—nothing is real, and everything can be manipulated. He then shows a picture of the multiverse, which looks like a mess of black burning wires and multicolored dots. Bill explains that the multiverse resides on a trading card in the binder of a being called Dennis, and dizziness comes from “string theory,” or when Dennis nearly trades the multiverse to his brother for string cheese.

Pages 48-51 Summary

Page 48 depicts a diagram of the “horrible” human body, with each part described horrifically, whimsically, or completely incorrectly (such as a stomach with a horrifying face named “Chumbo” who growls sometimes). The caption below informs the viewer that “facts” are dangerous for one’s health, and lies are a much better alternative. The next page details what humans are—namely, creatures meant to reproduce and die. Bill finds humans to be mediocre life-forms with disgusting bodies, pointing out that going outside naked leads to arrest, so beauty can’t really exist. According to a diagram and a description of the human eye, mantis shrimps are the superior lifeform since they can see more colors.
