He said of this: "saddest thing I've drawn"

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.

[-] Mrs_deWinter@feddit.org 9 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] Vespair@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you, my thoughts exactly. Tragic is not exactly the same thing as sad.

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 4 points 2 weeks ago

It would probably help to read more of the comics since it's a recurring character.

[-] Mrs_deWinter@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

I see. Thanks

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[-] SalmiakDragon@feddit.nu 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.

She's hot, but there's just too much pressure to make it work.

[-] Klear@quokk.au 1 points 2 weeks ago

She's got it, yeah baby she's got it.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 34 points 2 weeks ago

it's a caustic relationship.

[-] dmention7@midwest.social 21 points 2 weeks ago

Never put your dick in clouds of sulfuric acid.

[-] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 weeks ago

But.... I really think I can fix her with a little terraforming.

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 1 points 2 weeks ago

She courted briefly with the Soviets if I recall, but even they couldn't tame her hot heart with a cool island song

[-] jodanlime@midwest.social 20 points 2 weeks ago

I love how the moon is just super happy for everyone involved.

[-] ladicius@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago
[-] jodanlime@midwest.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Not the first time I've been told that, actually!

[-] jlow@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 weeks ago

O no, this is amazing, I've done something similar but far less cute and funny in the past:

[-] kerrigan778 9 points 2 weeks ago

Gonna have to disagree with you about far less cute, that's adorable.

[-] jlow@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

Awww, thank you! But I love the interaction in the above one so much.

[-] udc@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Whoa those illustrations are awesome ๐Ÿ‘ Keep up the good work!

[-] jlow@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

Cheers! ๐Ÿ’–

[-] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

This was genuinely fun!

[-] JATtho@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

This just a lovely comic, so have a double up vote.

Why doesn't Jupiter, the largest planet, not simply eat the others?

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 1 points 2 weeks ago

I think that's his eventual plan, depending how much of his fluff is real bluster

[-] wrinkle2409@lemmy.cafe 5 points 2 weeks ago

Mom is about to explode

[-] pageflight@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

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!

[-] ladicius@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Aww... They're so sweet.
