I think the author is trying to make a statement about how much better it is seeing animals in their wild habitat than the artifice of a zoo environment.
The joke is that the character in the comic gets to experience this beauty of animals in nature and then reacts the opposite of how you’d expect. He doesn’t feel wonder and is so disgusted that he is led to create the first zoo.
I think you could best summarize the joke’s point as the author saying “Somewhere out there is an idiot that saw these beautiful creatures in the wild and thought ‘hey this would be so much better if I put them in a cage and charge money!’”
Is that how he got into bed with her or he’s just thinking about talking when he should be having sex?
In the moment, when I’m actually talking to a woman (or any person), it’s not really what I’m thinking about, but I do think about their anatomy and sex with a good number of women throughout the day. Just brief flashes of possible moments. Thinking about sex and talking at the same though is alot of processing power, I can’t do two things at once like that. Women though, are good at multi-tasking, so I assume they’re more likely than men to do that.
The joke is that he loves talking to women so much he fantasizes about it during sex. Which is humorous because the conventional wisdom displayed in the left side would indicate the inverse would be true. Happy to help.
The conclusion that most trucks are pointless, or the conclusion that RAMs are garbage?
The former by living in a place where pretty trucks are everywhere, and there isn’t a single scratch or dent on most of them (and they’re usually lifted crew cab short box). The latter, personal experience. If you want a truck, get a Toyota or a Chevy
What I’ve gathered here is that you come from someplace weird with truck nuts who have definitely rubbed off on you enough that you make sweeping generalizations.
That said, I’m pretty sure Chevy is the only manufacturer I didn’t see on the list of auto makers lobbying against right to repair.
Pointless trucks, like in 90% of the cases. We are not talking about the people who actually use it for taking stuff with it on the field. We are talking about the assholes who drive it in cities “because it looks cool” or some shit. In case you were just kidding, consider my comment null.
Almost no one actually needs a full-size pickup. The only real exception is if you regularly haul heavy loads on trailers, but that doesn’t apply to most full-size pickup owners. Most people buy them because it’s part of an image they’ve been sold through the advertising industry.
I drive a 20-year-old mid-sized pickup with an extended bed and there has never been a single time when it hasn’t been perfectly adequate for all my needs. It’s also a 4-wheel-drive, but since I only ever use that feature on snow and ice and rough unpaved roads and am not an off-road enthusiast, it’s not lifted and doesn’t tower over other vehicles in traffic.
It's not an ad. The entire comic is setting up a pun around the male character feeling like he's dodged a bullet.
Its mocking overly-expensive weddings. It's mocking overly-expensive cars/trucks. It's mocking self-centred people in relationships who are oblivious to their partners' perspectives. It's mocking people who have no financial sense and see their wants as needs but are happy to dismiss their partners' wants as unimportant. It's mocking car adverts. But mostly, it's just a silly pun.
Nah, Scott Adams is a hateful bigot. He thinks black people are a "hate group" - he truly went off the rails.
I don't really think this comic reflects its author's personal views at all. C&H has always been filled with shock comedy, black comedy, deliberate insensitivity, and silly puns, and everything is a target. This one doesn't really stand out as any different to how the comic's always been.
I don't really feel like there's ever really been a right-wing slant to these comics either. And I say that as someone who's ardently left-wing.
I mean, I remember it from like a decade ago when it first came out.
But before Lemmy it had been maybe 5 years since I saw one?
So maybe that’s why it seems like a big change. Back then it was just dark humor, now it seems like it tries to piss people off and say “just a joke”. Like, the quality isn’t what I remember, even if it’s trying to be the same thing.
Like comparing The Onion to Babylon Bee, they’re both trying to do the same thing, the result isn’t the same tho. There’s a conservative slant that just makes it annoying. Like, both of those things are giant wastes of money, why are they the two options?
The only webcomic I kept up with was SMBC and xkcd
Interesting take to say this could even be conceived of as an ad, as that’s clearly based on like a 2009 Dodge. Interesting they used Bullet though, a company called Sterling used to make a heavy frame truck called the Sterling Bullet which would have been based on that body style of Ram.
Some years back when there was a bad quality demo leaked from Nightwish album, the head of the band was furious because people would judge the album based on that shit quality sample.
For some artists it’s important that the person experiencing the art can see and/or hear it as the artist intended. Which kinda makes sense that you’d want people to see the beat sidw, just like when selling a car
