I have never really understood how this comic got so popular. It’s always felt like an SNL skit that has gone on too long. The shtick was kind of funny 2 or 3 times but it got old to me quickly. One of those things where I just felt like I could start writing the jokes immediately.
Not knocking those of you who enjoy it. It’s just always surprised me how popular it is. I’ve enjoyed a lot of web comics and this is the only one that’s really made me scratch my head
I agree with everything you said, yet I still enjoy these comics. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well at least it’s not Garfield
Low bar lol
But Garfield gave us imsorryjon
I think he could’ve touched more weird things we humanoids do that do feel alien to us if we step aside and really think about them.
I recommend you to actually do write jokes on your own, (simple) creativity like this can feel really great.
I save it for banter. It’s about delivery when you do stuff like that. Like saying song lyrics in a plain, uptight voice.
Different folks different strokes. I don’t think there’s much to gain from analyzing why something may or may not make you laugh.
I feel the same way about pizzacakecomics. Not once has it made me laugh personally, but judging by upvotes a ton of people like it
I think there’s a ton to gain from analyzing comics/comedy. It’s an art form like anything else. Like I said I am not judging people for it. I am saying how it hits for me and it’s interesting.
I still enjoy the comics, but I have no idea how they got an animated series. The jokes are fine for a once-a-day thing, but minutes of this stuff at a time? I barely managed to get through the first episode.
I guess Apple must’ve been desperate for content.
I think Nathan Pyle’s work is hilarious. The Strange Planet stuff isn’t for me, but the rest of it is.
Oh! Calluses. My first read was “if you repeat the action enough you’ll cause numbing nerve damage,” which has nothing to do with hardening.
I mean, there’s also nerve damage. When I practiced martial arts, it was considered a good thing when your knuckles and arms suffered enough trauma that there was less pain. 🤷♂️
Does the nerve damage heal from that if you don’t practice for a long time?
Is there actual nerve damage or your nervous system changing your perception of pain?
