Do you think there's a meaning of life?

Probably to seek out something or other, or strive against this and that.

Sure.

The thing is there's clearly no meaning to, say, the life of a cat. And the cat seems much happier than us.

Yet here we are, ever searching for meaning it's like because we're not 100% sure there's a millstone around our necks, we spend a lifetime searching for one.

Existentialists say you can construct your own millstone.

I call that masochism.

Hi! These can all be added to Category:Comics featuring the snow kids. There are currently 41 comics listed there, which I believe is incomplete. I'm not sure how many of those are included. Looking through a few, condemned seems to be the first one you listed that isn't in the category, though it's also noteworthy in that it features different kids than usual, which would be worth putting a note about on the Snow Kids page.
