Why won’t she call me back!?
I’ll never meet another bipedal shark like her again.
And then they fucked.
while she watched
I live a very active dream life in which there is room for both.
They are the same picture dot meme dot gif
When you start dreaming of tralalalero tralala you know you’re too brainroted
I went to SportsDirect here in Estonia and at the checkout saw “Italian brainrot” trading card game, at that point I knew I no longer want to know what the youth are doing.
That’s wild, the kids are doomed but at least they’re having fun
I have never had a sexual/romantic dream about an acquaintance I was not already sexually involved with. Gory deaths during the Zombie apocalypse though…
Deaths?! Typical bigoted speciesism!
Nay, we but transform humans from their anxiety riddled, money dominated, fear obsessed form into a form which is at ease with living in the natural world. There is no death, but marvellous transformation.
Wouldst thou call the changing of a caterpillar into a butterfly, death? The caterpillar undergoes a gory transformation, and yet, it is deemed a wonder of nature resulting in astonishing beauty. My kind are the same. Butterflies of human kind, transformed via gory means. The next evolutionary step of the great apes.
Apocalypse only in the original meaning of the word, revelation via divine authority!
brains! Brrraaaaiiinnnnssss! BRAINS!
have you played the card game Give Me The Brain? i think you’d like it
Well!
XD
Maybe they’re both from the same sequence but at different points.
Plausible. His pants probably wouldnt survive riding a shark without a saddle.
Maybe they’re Teflon or diamond-coated pants? Or maybe chicken-sharks have soft down-like scales in the area above their pectoral fins and before their dorsal fin?
I dunno, I’m not an ichthornithologist
You’d definitely be well suited to the noble science of birdsharking!
Read birdshagging first…
Somehow, “birdsharking” sounds dirtier to me
As far as I’m concerned, they both don’t contradict each other.
Clearly, in his part he says they don’t have much time, so they must have been successful and then had time later.
He actually says the same thing later too
I like that.
“This shird is a bouncy ride… Ima take off my shirt.”
Maybe it’s a sharicken?
The shark and the sword look freaking cool!!
Jamal has merely a thousand apologies to give, but Jamal gives them all to you.
I’m a simple gal. I see a Dungeon Crawler Carl reference, I upvote 🤷🏻♀️
Both are equally valid and romantic
A 5th panel showing both of them standing across from each other wearing those expressions would have been funny.
Agreed!
At the same time… I remain grateful that I still have enough fading grey matter left such that I can just imagine it in my head, no prob. 😄
Ah yes, saving the damsel in distress while shirtless. A common guy dream.
On Reddit this would end up in /arethestraightsokay
The gays look for us straights under the bed before they sleep.
Nah, I think if anything this is a variation on the “woman thinks man just wants to have sex, but man is actually thinking about stupid stuff” trope.
Which, as tropes go, is a pretty fair-handed one.
You think she assumes he’s thinking sex, or is she thinking sex and hoping he is?
She assumes his dream about her was about them having sex.
His dream was actually weird bipedal shark action-hero nonsense.
That face she’s making clearly indicates she upset at the thought.
“Herding dreams is like herding cats.”
Isn’t this a criticism of a meme format? I don’t understand how it relates to the comic :(
It’s criticising the comic for being a slight variation on the same idea.
The bad aspect the meme format tends to fall into doesn’t happen here, because the woman’s idea isn’t boring, and by being about two individualised characters rather than generic wojaks or whatever it can’t really be interpreted as being about genders in general unless you’re being particularly uncharitable.
It’s the same joke, different format.
I don’t think sex dreams are boring, so I don’t think this is the same joke.
So the joke in the comic is that they each have equally interesting dreams? I don’t think that’s how it works at all. The woman’s dream is only there to highlight how wacky the man’s dream is. Imagine the comic without the third panel and you’ll see it loses a significant amount of punch, but you’re allowed your interpretation.
The joke in the comic is that one person expects one funny thing (sex is funny) but the reality is another funny thing (chicken sharks are funny). So it refers to two funny things, and also does a bait and switch, which is a third funny thing.
Imagine the comic without the third panel and you’ll see it loses a significant amount of punch
Delete the punchline and it loses punch, you say!
No mention of the dream being funny is made at all.
Your arguments are in bad faith.
Edit: 3 is setup, not the punchline. More bad faith.
Nope, I honestly believe that there is absolutely nothing problematic about the comic, and that the criticism of the “girls with a time machine” format doesn’t apply. My previous replies are honest accounts how I feel about it.
No mention of the dream being funny is made at all.
That’s true, but I don’t understand why you’d say it. Certainly, I didn’t claim and don’t claim that it’s “mentioned”, I just claim that it is. Maybe you would wrongly accuse fewer people of bad faith if you explained things a bit more…
Okay, I REALLY did not mean to share this one if it was a sexist comic, so if I screwed up on that, then that’s on me, and… yeah there’s still time to delete it, I think.
That said, there’s a friggen’ load of cultural context to explain, if one really needs it, if one REALLY wants to dig in to this one.
Ball’s in your court, @[email protected].
What cultural context is that? I’m familiar with several faltastical creatures, but a chicken-legged shark is new.
It’s not sexist on its own, but it could be read as one example of a sexist trope (girl boring, guy quirky).
May I ask what you were offended by, specifically?
