I don't get it. I mean, yeah, I get what's going on, I just don't get what makes it funny, or what point it's trying to make.

I think its "Some people have strong reactions to public displays of affection "

[–] Blyfh@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There's affection, and there's... this. Some don't know the concept of "getting a room".

[–] essell@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am not alive to live up to your expectations! 😁 Some people don't know the concept of "nunya"

You can't claim that when you're loudly making a spectacle out of yourself

Everybody gonna draw the line in different places

Doesn’t even have to be public, I never outgrew the childhood reaction of disgust to people making out. Like, why do I want to see a closeup shot of people kissing on my 65” 4k TV, even if it’s supposedly romantic…

Stick around a bit. Unfunny comics is a hot new trend on this sub. Quality is going downhill.

I initially thought this was one of those things where someone takes an actual comic and changes the text to make a different narrative. But this inscrutable mess seems to be the original...

Ah, also, it's butt ugly. Sry to the cartoonist, who is probably very nice, but that plasticky, slick looking tablet screen linework is starting to get to me. It's everywhere.

It seems like they're making fun of people that are overly affectionate in a public place, like on a train

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 6 points 2 years ago

I think it's the noise rather than simply the affection.

I don't mind PDA most of the time. It's cute when two people are completely lost in each other. I appreciate it when people bother being discreet, but even when they don't, it's usually not that invasive when people express themselves just between the two of them.

But then there's the attention whores, playing it up for the crowds.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Extreme mouth noises bother some people. Not that I'd ever call anyone out on a train over it, but the sound of loud wet kissing gives me the creepy-crawlies in the same way that hearing someone sloppily eating a particularly juicy apple does.

Thank Bose for noise-cancelling earbuds.

Just loudly whisper “oh yeah! Now grab her butt!” while groping yourself overtly.

Is the small character at the end a recurring character of this comic?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, I know I've seen a few others from this comic with that little guy.

[–] oce@jlai.lu 24 points 2 years ago

Ok, because it makes no sense without knowing that.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Is that an AI comic? It's incomprehensible.

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

Can't beat me having a Zoom meeting with speaker on
