Can't tell who this is making fun of. I guess the answer is: everyone.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 2 years ago (1 children)

These comics are usually more just absurdism than anything else, and I love it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I'm happy for you, personally I'm not really a fan of absurdism and similar humour.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Definitely everyone. Art is good, reveals are good, the joke density is good with back to back quips and reveals, but for some reason it kind of left me lacking any sense of resolution. Maybe I've become jaded from people "ironically" posting conservative hate comics that I now view each new comic I see with a sense of apprehensive doubt.

FUCK YES

The good comics from Reddit are finally making it over, haven't seen a "The Other End" in MONTHS lmfao

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I haven't seen one of these ever before.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They're really fucking funny, like an oddly dark and chaotic sense of humor

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I'm reading back through them now, they're fantastic

I haven't seen a Pizzacake in a while

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Did… did anyone actually like pizzacake? I thought it was an ironic meme you guys were doing.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Nothing wrong with that, she seems like a nice person!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I also like Pizza cake!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

They did say the good comics.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I didn't uploaded it because so many people hate or don't like Pizzacake Comic.

Do they speak English in What?

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

Wh-wh-what?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't know. But maybe they could tell me what the joke is here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Don't come back until you've watched Pulp Fiction.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago

I thought this was gonna be some parabole about veganism but I'm honestly not sure.

[–] zipzoopaboop 30 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This should have been like 4 panels and ended at the turkey reveal. But it just. Keeps. Going

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

This should have ended at panel 0.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

And I'm not kidding when I say I literally read half of this comic then got distracted and went to do 10 other things in my phone and an hour later I came back and realized I hadn't finished reading this comic yet. Continued reading and the plot kept changing.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

oof that was a let-down

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

This comic is like a five year old much too excited to tell a story.

Thanksgiving food is surprisingly mediocre. Seems like it was designed by the British.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm sorry you haven't experienced good Thanksgiving food.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

However, there is a lot of super good thanksgiving food

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I feel like the whole point of it is to not vary

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's mediocre because most people never try to cook any of it outside of Thanksgiving and don't experiment with the recipes because they're trying to cook a bunch of dishes and don't want to mess them up.

Turkey is good when it's not overcooked and underseasoned. Mashed potatoes are good when they're not gummy from not having the extra starch rinsed off or chunky from being undercooked. Stuffing is good when it's not shoved into a turkey cavity or soggy from sitting in drippings and has ingredients in it besides bread.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I agree with everything you said but the stuffing, I prefer mine prepared in the bird but I make another batch cooked on its own for those who don't like it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Cooking the stuffing in the bird is risky. You may already know that, since it sounds kind you have been doing it that way a long time. However, many don't understand the risks, chief among them is overcooking the turkey.

And bacteria too I guess... https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and-preparation/poultry/stuffing-and-food-safety

Try going to New Orleans next year for TG. They know how to do it right.

Fucking dark. Love it

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I really like this. I see a lot of negative comments here, so I'm just putting it out there for the balance.

The pacing felt very comfortable to me, it was paced in a way that made me feel relaxed-entertained rather than the hyperactive-entertained that so many formats are going for today

Bloody typical. Finally a good comic between the awful mediocrity in this group and people are slagging it off. This has become reddit already.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

What's a reddit? We just bullshitting here

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

*sigh* So much time and effort spent.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I love TheOtherEnd. They take the humor way past the logical conclusion and subverts my expectations every time.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

yeah, way beyond logical. like it's literally Thanksgiving Day and they are already gathered and they're still debating on whether or not they're going to participate in the gathering 🤦‍♀️

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

Is this loss?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You get any more of them pixels

Also I don't get what this comic is trying to say at all

It's just a mish mash of text and images to me and I didn't get any message or meaning from it at all

If someone wants to explain it you're welcome too but I literally don't get what the point of this comic strip is

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

The new girlfriend Stephanie is a Turkey. Her dad Jim is getting served for dinner that year, so it's super awkward. It's quite a bizarre comic and not very funny.
