About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

I don't get it.

Or it's the start to a new line.

It took me a few moments. Look closely at the last panel. Follow the gaze of the giraffe

Compare panel 3 with panel 4.

This cartoon would have worked better of the giraffe was in the majority pf the panels, this a facial expression change could have drawn further attention to the subtle effect.

You can see his dick through the robe?

Thanks. I can’t help but feel a little disappointed. I guess the giraffe looks kind of funny.

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I have a feeling the giraffe was added last-minute as a way to help direct the observer to the punchline. It's unfortunate that it's so distracting. But it makes it so you have to work a little to get the joke.

Surprise! πŸŽ‰

I think the joke is just meant to be that he's wearing white clothes and they go transparent when they get wet (the rain). I had to see this comic like 5 times before I even noticed that was what was happening and it wasn't just jpeg artifacts.

yeah I think I'm just gonna unsub... thought it'd be a good bit of nostalgia for comics i used to enjoy... well my taste was either shit back then or these comics have gotten worse, cuz I've been subbed here for about a year or two and haven't seen single fucking comic that's funny or interesting... at all.

why am i telling you this? cuz there's at least one person reading this who has been thinking it too
