What is Gondola?

Gondola is a mutation of Spurdo Spärde consisting of a head placed directly on a pair of legs with no arms or torso. The character does not speak and is usually depicted as melancholic or sad.

Gondolas are relaxed, harmless creatures that observe their environment. They rarely interfere anything, but just keep observing. They rarely talk, just look around and smile. This makes them very different from other creatures such as spurdo, that feel, Pepe, Yoba, etc.

Gondola is the silent walker. Having no hands he embodies the Taoist principle of wu-wei (non-action) while his smiling facial expression shows his utter and complete acceptance of the world as it is.

Appended from /r/gondola:

Gondola is the ultimate human. He represents our journey in understanding life; which is meaningless. Our eternal struggle against ourselves.

Gondola isn't supposed to be sad, he is supposed to be melancholic.

He is not suicidal, but accepts life as it is and experiences it as an observer.

Gondola is a wanderer who sees the world in a state of eternal melancholy, unable to do anything about it but move from place to place.

Gondola himself is an abstract form, and the combination of gondola and the landscapes he frequents (be it photography, painting, or digital) represent the unexplainable melancholy of the artist behind him.

He is far more than a sad frog with a rope around his neck.
