      So… Am I too high or not high enough to understand this comic?

        It’s that thing where you drop a sheet and duck behind a doorway/couch/whatever and whoever is watching (often a child or dog) is left to wonder where you went.

          And this is considered “funny”?

            I don’t think it’s funny but for some reason I still appreciate custardfist’s goofy style and the effort they put in

            I think the joke is okay and would have worked if I didn’t have to make sense of a number of confusions I had to work through first.

            • number being represented by “nr”. Nothing wrong here, just something that I’m not familiar with.
            • the use of “floop” to represent the sound of the list hitting the floor
            • the lines in the doorway representing, what I’m guessing are, stairs and not connected to the employee as I first considered
            • the disappearance of the desk from one panel to another
            • the path one manager in red took to get to the door from sitting at the desk

            I don’t know if anyone else has these problems to work through, but having had to work through them muted any enjoyment I would have gotten from the joke had that been absent.

              I think the lines in the doorway represent the list falling. It wouldn’t make a lot of sense for the manager’s office to be in the basement of a fast food place.

    I feel like them acting like dogs is a punchline without a setup. There’s nothing that links the comic to the dogs-freaking-out-when-someone-vanishes meme, so it just comes out of left field without landing comedically.

    Imagine that this is a sketch people are performing. Do you laugh when the guys start barking, or are you confused because they start barking for no reason when a guy was just quitting?

      He lifted the list up like a blanket and disappeared like people do when they’re playing a trick on their pets

      I’m also assuming he sprayed “essence of dog potion” in there for them to react like that but that’s another thing

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !comicstrips@lemmy.world

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author’s website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author’s comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
