I really don't get the bottom-right one

The artist just thought if cows made tools they'd be primitive and weird-looking.

[–] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 2 points 16 hours ago

you read my mind. I had the exact thought:

is this the cow tools of today

The kid's been breaking the windows one-by-one with a paddle ball.

[–] TacoSocks@infosec.pub 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's a literally interpretation, but what is the joke? That even with the ball being on a string the kid still found a way to break all the windows?

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 14 hours ago

my guess is an arcade game where you break all the windows, kid saw it and did it irl?
honestly I don't understand like 50% of the comics here, I just see pixels and laugh 😅

I feel like the last 2 frames are missing a subscript

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 43 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think a caption would improve the vampire panel, the joke is pretty self evident.

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah those are some goofy ass shoes

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What shoes?

Those are shoe-pants.

From what I can tell, he's got no pants, and has heels glued to the bottom of his feet

As a deer hunter I accept the deer’s proposal. Lotta stress put on that shot, go ahead.

i get the vampire one but what's with the others?

[–] Mojave@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The invisible man is upset because his hot bar crush doesn't know he exists (how could she, the dude's invisible)

Hunters enjoy the sport of hunting. It would take the fun away if the animal killed itself. The deer is running a lose-lose gambit by killing itself

Kid loves smashing windows or sumn

I missed it the first time too, but that isn't what he's saying. She probably doesn't even know I don't exist. It's got a double-negative. If you cancel them out, you get: "She probably ~~doesn't even~~ know(s) I ~~don't~~ exist."

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

you cannot just cancel out negations like that

he does not exist and she doesn't know it

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

This reminds me of Shrek when Pinocchio gets around lying by saying "I don't know where he's not," but if you think about it for one second you'll see that knowing where someone is also means you know where they aren't at. So it's still a lie.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

maybe they're in a quantum superposition, you can never be sure

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Then you don't know where he is!

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

no, if you know one of the places where he is you can just observe him and he will be there and then you know exactly where he is and is not

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 16 hours ago

But you can't just magically remotely view somewhere you can't see.

[–] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I interpret it as her being unaware of his nonexsistence.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This has such a tom the dancing bug feel. Love the hunter deer one.

The moose one gave me Far Side memories. Actually most of them did.
