They both seem lovely and fuck Coco Chanel.
But also, why is the girl on the left wearing a lamp-shade for a skirt?
Fashion. If the furniture can wear it, so can you.
Cause it's easier to hide a gun holster in than a regular skirt
Haute Couture.
I love how the Goth barista was so popular she became a recurring character
I've only ever seen her working at WcDonald's. Is she a barista, too?
wcdonalds workers are baristas when it's coffee time
I'm missing something. What did number 26 do to deserve that?
I think it's just a general joke about how sometimes fast food can be extremely frustrating like that with no clear reason
I figured it might have been because he had some sort of special order.
It's just a joke about how when that happens (typically because the order after yours is smaller and was done sooner), it feels like a "fuck you".
My bad I thought she was a barista. I may have been crossing the streams with a different meme.
Youre rude to the goth barista because you hate service employees. I am rude to her because I want her to spit in my drink. We are not the same.
Maybe everyone should be barred from owning a business. Like, let's end the present state of things. Just don't make it dependent on cultural/racial categories lol
Also this comic doesn't prescribe a stance on Chanel's beliefs. That's funny.
The comic does, you're only missing the very clear subtext here because you don't have the context for the joke.
As a fashion designer, Coco Chanel's perspective on accessorizing is, to paraphrase, "look at yourself in the mirror before you go out and pick an accessory to take off and leave at home."
The fact that they're being encouraged to disregard a Nazi fashionista's signature accessory advice and to be "extra" instead is a very clear rejection of Chanel's beliefs.
Also this comic doesn't prescribe a stance on Chanel's beliefs. That's funny.
Do you honestly need the comic to explicitly spell out their stance and/or hold your hand through reading between the lines to figure it out yourself? I think this is more of a reading comprehension problem rather than a failure on the artist's part, no offense.
The joke only works if you already know the (admittedly famous) Coco Chanel quote.
Does it? I comprehended it just fine without prior knowledge of the quote.
The quote being discussed is not the one in the comic. It's that she Chanel said to take off the last accessory you put on before you go out, basically saying people out too many on. It's still obvious it's against Nazis, in my opinion, but knowing this tells you that they're ignoring her advice because she was wrong about plenty of other things, why should we assume she's right about this?
You can still infer that the Nazi said something similar by looking at their expressions, the way they phrase things, and what they are surprised by.
The blonde is not surprised that the Nazi is quoted as an authority on fashion, but is surprised by the Nazi being a Nazi. The blue-haired person treats the Nazi quote as sufficient evidence to assuage the blonde's doubts.
If anything, you're interpreting this too narrowly. The blonde isn't anxious about the Nazi's opinion, but about the people that will see them at dinner. The comic suggests not just that the Nazi can be disregarded as a Nazi, but that the public perception of fashion is poisoned by Nazi standards and deserves to be defied.
It's funnier but it's not required
The same joke with Hugo Boss would amount to "Nazi bad", which is true but not terribly funny.
I wasn't talking about it not being Coco Chanel, but not knowing her. I didn't knew her and found it funny because I assumed she was an important person in fashion.
It the joke was made with someone unrelated to fashion it would be worse.
Hugo Boss was a fashion icon and a literal nazi, but the joke wouldn't work with him either. It works because it's a bait and switch: when the girl asks "you know what Coco Chanel said...", you're expecting the famous "Before you leave the house, look at yourself in the mirror and take one thing off."
The comic flippantly disregards Chanel's advice re: accessories based on the premise that because she was a Nazi collaborator her opinions, and those influenced by them, can and should be ignored.
If that is too nuanced for you to be able to determine a stance then there's no hope for you.
