Making fun of the weak (poor, minorities, etc) is easy because they can’t fight back, that’s why the best comedy is the one that upsets the powerful.

Bacon. My first taste was of boiled bacon. It was like chewing on a fucking pencil eraser. I hated it, but my mom would insist on putting some small cubes on the beans to “give a taste” (it didn’t). Took me some time to finally experiment one that was fried to a crispy dryness. Infinitely better.

Laid out like that: FuckIng Cross the mail bot

Point 1 definitely has some 50+ countries in it, but point 2 almost immediately leads to Iran, who suffered a coup in the 1950s because the then president wanted to nationalize the oil reserves.

Point 3 is the rise of Saddam. Point 4 is the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s and the Iran-Contra kerfuffle. Point 5 is the two invasions of Iraq by the USA, 1991 and 2003, the latter leading directly to point 6.

Last panel has strong Carl vibes

I feel like a celebrity now 🤩

Hard to belle-ieve

There’s quite a discussion about that further elsewhere in this thread. To me, the combination of vector-like thick lines with that background color, the characters having such mute expressions and there not being one actual optimist.

Others also pointed to the “weirdness” that is the lines of the characters’ arms becoming part of the table, which I didn’t notice at first.

Perhaps more importantly, it does not look like the “author” has “zero drawing skill”, but actually knows how to make vector art, even if relatively simple. That makes the problems more glaring

I’ve been exposed! 🤖

Sounds like you’re walking a metaphorical minefield

Not OP, but let’s make this better:

PS: i doubt anyone here would honestly say “damn, that’s beyond my skill”, which goes to show that “not everyone can draw” is a bullshit argument for using AI to make comics

Lawful good: absolutely nothing

Neutral good: Pascal

Chaotic neutral: Python

Chaotic Evil: Brainfuck

Like I never heard a programmer bemoan that they do all this work and it just vanishes into a void where nobody interacts with it

Where I work, there are at least 5 legacy systems that have been “finished” but abandoned before being used at all because of internal politics, as in, the fucker that moved heaven and hell to make the system NOW got fired the day after it was ready and the area that was supposed to use it didn’t want to.

We’re as cooked as artists (when asked to do shit jobs for non paying customers)

Do you go to the gym, or do pushups frequently? If you do, you should manage to do that thing with the pectorals after a while

Good relation with family

Dragon Ball has a scene in one of the earlier episodes where Goku gets desperate and confused when he finds out Bulma doesn’t have balls. In Brazil, the panty removing scene was cut, but him screaming and waking up Bulma was kept, with the chatter being fully nonsensical “I was hungry and looking for food!”

I also remember seeing that a country, I think Thailand?, censors even male pectorals, so a lot of DBZ fights had big blurs over the characters.

“Stable life despite most dreams being crushed? Ok, that doesn’t sound bad… Shouldn’t have stopped drawing? Wait, you’re teaching kids how to draw as a volunteer and liking it?? That was unexpected.”

I feel like I only have the old lady who’s fed up with all this shit

My guess is a character from Breath of Fire 3 or 4, the style is VERY 1990s Capcom
