That is some powerful stuff.

BreadOven, in His Face All Red - Emily Carroll

I was going to say I hate when you have to go to another site to read the comic, but when I opened it. I realized what it was. Read it some time ago, really good comic. Thanks for reminding me it exists.

Anticorp, in Dreamcatcher

Being a lawyer sounds like a bad dream to me.

Defend what matters to you and be poor, or defend where money is and be rich and meaningless.

Have Joe then begin complaining about them being so hypocritical for siding and accepting the support of bears and that they were never really true R.O.U.S. to make this 1000% more relatable.

KrankyKong, in Dreamcatcher

Mom’s lookin’ foine in the last panel

cuerdo,

She stopped stress-eating when the kid streightened up

The kid dreamed of his mom being hotter and it was not considered a bad dream. Now he studies law to find in which state the rest of the story can happen legally.

AgentGrimstone, (edited ) in Dreamcatcher

I was so lost until I figured out that isn’t her husband in the last panel. I thought he murdered their son.

This same shit comic keeps floating back up the s-bend. Crappy conservative messaging where accounting is valued higher than art.

Anticorp,

So you study law to become an accountant? I figured you’d study law to become a lawyer, and study accounting to become an accountant.

BigPotato,

Perry Bible Fellowship is kind of a shitpost? I mean, God makes out with a dude in the current most recent strip -https://pbfcomics.com/

Buffaloaf,

…that was weird

timelighter,

The cosmogony in this comic is pretty close to what I believe, lol

smeg,

Never seen a joke before, eh?

ripcord,

A) That’s not “conservative” messaging

B) It’s a joke

steakmeout,

I generally like Perry Bible Fellowship comics but this one seems like it’s either pandering to or coping with conservative messaging.

pbfcomics.com/comics/shocked/ clearly pandering to incels

pbfcomics.com/comics/puppy-wish/ clearly pandering to conservative fundamentalist christians

pbfcomics.com/comics/youll-be-ok/ clearly pandering to hypochondriacs

pbfcomics.com/comics/preserves/ incels again (and this one isn’t even remotely funny, the greatest crime)

I’m starting to think this artist is a cryptofascist. Basically equivalent to rock throw

Anticorp,

You don’t seem very fun.

BumpingFuglies,

Remember: on the internet, nobody can hear your tone of voice. If you want your dry jokes to land, you’ll likely need to use “/s” to show that you were being sarcastic, otherwise people might think you’re being serious about such an obviously absurd, irrational stance, because there really are people who would believe the things you joked about.

theangryseal,

Is this one pandering to Christians?

pbfcomics.com/comics/lamb-of-god/

Thank you for the links though. I’ve spent hours going through these comics. I didn’t even know I could like comics this much.

sus, (edited )

you may have heard the phrase “god works in mysterious ways”. This is clearly one case of such. Clouds do not normally behave like this, it’s closer to what you might think of smoke. And where do we see white smoke? That’s right. When the Papal conclave has come to a decision for the new Pope.

Pandering to Catholics. QED

theangryseal,

:p

You’re too much. :)

AVincentInSpace,

for the love of–

they are sheep. how much more heavy handed is it possible to make a metaphor

ArcaneSlime, (edited )

These are hilarious lmao. You’re insane if you think the punchline of “the stick figure falls and his body spells ‘OK’ after the other guy says ‘you’ll be ok’” is pandering to hypochondriacs, btw.

smeg,

Can you and apparently 2/3 of the other readers of that comment (going by current votes) not detect obvious sarcasm?

ArcaneSlime, (edited )

Not as obvious as you though, apparently. Considering 2/3rds…

smeg,

I guess it’s the point of sarcasm really, that not everyone will get it right away. I hate when people feel the need to do the “/s” though, it completely defeats the point.

ArcaneSlime,

That I do agree with.

Asking for a friend

sus, (edited )

It is a message that there is no smoke without fire. The “intellectual” (note the glasses) has a seemingly convincing argument, but is shown to be a fool. The suspicion of sinful, non-procreational sex (notice the falling leaves, which do not play a reproductive role in trees) turns out to be true.

This belief in smoke without fire feeds into the conservative tenets of anti-intellectualism, the tendency to assume guilt based on prejudice and fuels paranoid conspiracy theories. It is also a meta-dog whistle confirming that yes, those other dog whistles the comic uses are really what you think and not just coincidental.

timelighter,

I think the idea is that it’s a bad dream for him because he won’t make it as a musician

steakmeout,

Hilarious. Champagne comedy.

rosymind,

Idk. Not everyone has talent or the ability to gain the skill of the thing they wanna do.

Creativity is still king. But sometimes you need a day job, first

steakmeout,

What a great joke.

recapitated,

I could interpret the comic as more of a precautionary fiction, since it’s also a pun about dreams.

drislands, in Bear trap

Why does trying to go to the website for the comic instead take me to Steam?

naticus,

That’s an interesting question. I tried too and it did the same for me too. I think the site is setup as a redirect to that Guinea Pig Parkour game, so at least it’s related to the comic??

AgnosticMammal,

They made a game, so yes.

rosymind, in Meeting face to face

I see a lot of people are missing that the :-) face WAS his actual face.

Which begs the question: did she unmatch because she prefers emojicons, or was she just not attracted to that type of face

0ops,

You got me. Didn’t catch that until I saw your comment

Potatos_are_not_friends,

I think the comic could use a touch up if so many people are missing the joke.

It took me a moment. But it shouldn’t.

It’s because he used the “:-)” smiley instead of 😍🥰😘😊 or literally any other smiley/emoji.

ripcord,

That’s a thing people don’t like apparently?

TheBlue22, in Meeting face to face

Bruh if she unmatches you for that, she was not worth your time to begin with

afraid_of_zombies,

I don’t think there are many people on earth whose eyes are literal black dots, no nose, and a Glasgow smile made solid black. Must suck for them.

That doesn’t stop it from fucking up your head for a bit

Sadge

TheBlue22,

Thats true, yeah. Got that kind of stuff a lot before I got lucky and found my love. I guess I learned to accept that some people are just not worth your sadness, even if you feel a ton of it in the moment
