About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

yeah I think I'm just gonna unsub... thought it'd be a good bit of nostalgia for comics i used to enjoy... well my taste was either shit back then or these comics have gotten worse, cuz I've been subbed here for about a year or two and haven't seen single fucking comic that's funny or interesting... at all.

why am i telling you this? cuz there's at least one person reading this who has been thinking it too

I don't get it.

Or it's the start to a new line.

I think the joke is just meant to be that he's wearing white clothes and they go transparent when they get wet (the rain). I had to see this comic like 5 times before I even noticed that was what was happening and it wasn't just jpeg artifacts.

It took me a few moments. Look closely at the last panel. Follow the gaze of the giraffe

Compare panel 3 with panel 4.

This cartoon would have worked better of the giraffe was in the majority pf the panels, this a facial expression change could have drawn further attention to the subtle effect.

You can see his dick through the robe?

Thanks. I can’t help but feel a little disappointed. I guess the giraffe looks kind of funny.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I have a feeling the giraffe was added last-minute as a way to help direct the observer to the punchline. It's unfortunate that it's so distracting. But it makes it so you have to work a little to get the joke.

His clothes on the last panel.

For those too lazy to look it up:

18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.)

19 These were the three sons of Noah, and from them came the people who were scattered over the whole earth.

20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded[a] to plant a vineyard.

21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent.

22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside.

23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father’s naked body. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father naked.

24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him,

25 he said, “Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.”

26 He also said, “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem.

27 May God extend Japheth’s[b] territory; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth.”

28 After the flood Noah lived 350 years. 29 Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.

Reads like some weird AO3 fanfic worldbuilding. Just missing some mpreg
