This goes right to the top with Liebot
I don't get it
The little girl is getting kicked out by her parents because she "will never be pretty", which is all a girl is worth according to misogynist belief.
Yeah ok I mean that's literally what's happening. But is there a joke? Or something unexpected, insightful, thoughtful, humorous, something special or of any significance other than a random statement? What's sad about it? Why a robot? Why a liebot? Is he lying?
Tbh I still don't really get it.
Thank you, my thoughts exactly. Tragic is not exactly the same thing as sad.
It would probably help to read more of the comics since it's a recurring character.
I see. Thanks
The punchline is the setup. It's an anti joke. Perhaps a bad one, even. Quite rare in this joke landscape, I can see why it needs to be preserved
Tbh, I feel like calling this "sad" doesn't do a good enough job of refuting the underlying misogynist belief (that a woman's worth is her looks) that the parents have.
Liebot was this vaguely racist Slavic stereotype character that tried to make Phillip (the otter) cry on occasion. This is probably the tamest one.
just for the record, we started with Venus, but they kept breaking them, so we switched to Mars.
Venus is toxic AF.
She's hot, but there's just too much pressure to make it work.
She's got it, yeah baby she's got it.
it's a caustic relationship.
Never put your dick in clouds of sulfuric acid.
But.... I really think I can fix her with a little terraforming.
She courted briefly with the Soviets if I recall, but even they couldn't tame her hot heart with a cool island song
I love how the moon is just super happy for everyone involved.
You got those eagle eyes.

Not the first time I've been told that, actually!
O no, this is amazing, I've done something similar but far less cute and funny in the past:
Gonna have to disagree with you about far less cute, that's adorable.
Awww, thank you! But I love the interaction in the above one so much.
Whoa those illustrations are awesome ๐ Keep up the good work!
Cheers! ๐
This was genuinely fun!
This just a lovely comic, so have a double up vote.
Why doesn't Jupiter, the largest planet, not simply eat the others?
I think that's his eventual plan, depending how much of his fluff is real bluster
Mom is about to explode
Is there a good place to see more without logging into something? I found some on threads, but it requires login after a bit; not interested in FB/X. Maybe time to buy a book!
Aww... They're so sweet.
