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.
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.
I hope this becomes a recurring gag, for the rest of the run of C&H.
I may memorize the whole series, and quote one line of it at a time around my friends, as an unrequested update on the news from my friend “Cliff Hanger”.
I’m counting on this to finally give me something to contribute to gossip sessions.
It’s because Satan still likes all the stuff God likes, he just got kicked out.
So he’s got like, a super fucked up punisher/batman thing going on where he fails to acknowledge his own faults but sees all the sinners arriving in hell as deplorable, and deserving punishment.
