Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Then the author wouldn't have had the chance to make a point. The point being about not fitting in and being laughed at by the majority. It's not just being uncomfortable for not fitting in. It's about being actively mocked for not fitting in.
I’m talking about comedy, you’re talking about making a point. Why did you change the subject?
I didn't change the subject; I broadened it slightly. You were talking just about humor, I'm talking about all of the choices the author has to make. Both the humor and the point of the comic are under the same umbrella.
To claim you’re broadening you’d have to have engaged with my point, not sidestepped it. You’re arguing in bad faith.
Dude, I wasn't even arguing against your point. I was providing an alternative view in the same space: that of the author's choices. I literally wasn't even arguing. Chill out.
I think you might be in the wrong class.
You're looking for a fight like a bad troll. "Bad faith argument"? The reply you got addresses your point but you don't seem to understand the discussion.
FWIW, I agree with you, partly because the last panel is uncomfortable to look at the anxiety of getting ragged in the public and also because recirculates the stereotype that "X for Humanities" courses are somehow inferior.
