I’m really confused by these strips. Are there more panels than the ones we see?
Just keep reading it until it makes sense. Giving up is for pussies.
I have the feeling the artist themselves don’t know what the fuck is going on. Which is fitting for the current zeitgeist if you ask me.
Or they say “fuck it”, do a yes amount of drugs and start scribbling. Which probably is what’s really happening.
Glad I’m not the only one

My guess is that it’s a cynical take on optimism and maybe hustle-culture. Whatever people say, it’s futile anyway.
But maybe I’m just too dumb to get the “jokes” buried somewhere in them.😁
the joke is he’s falling to his death and someone is telling him “you can do it [survive]!”
The joke is that she’s still telling him not to give up after he’s already falling
that’s dumb, that’s not even a joke that works in this format
Maybe if he flaps his arms he can slow his descent enough to survive!
These seem more in an absurdist vein of comedy to me, rather than having or needing a particular punch line
There was a series of these for a while on reddit on r/comics, and people would routinely hop into the comics to ask “wtf is going on?” and give their opinion on whether or not they like or dislike this brand of storytelling (aka random ‘snapshots’ of a story with nothing between them. It would be like reading a book by flipping to random pages and reading just that page, basically.)
Anyway I was pretty certain that it was the same artist making these, and I’m pretty much 99% sure I’m right because I found the ol reddit collection here: https://imginn.com/blujayooo/
I remember at the time being more on the annoyed side because some of the ‘issues’ had some pretty interesting stuff going on and I would have liked an actual story to go with them, but I find myself feeling pretty neutral about it now, mostly because I’m NOT invested or interested this go around.
Land in the river and you won’t take fall damage
Except water becomes incredibly hard if being hit with too much speed. If there’s vegetation next to it and you’re at (or close to) terminal velocity you might want to land there instead. There are confirmed cases of people surviving a fall into vegetation after their parachutes didn’t open.
Someone never played a video game.
Naah, was just early in the morning and I didn’t caught the joke.
You won’t fool anyone mate, I know it for A FACT that you don’t take damage if you fall in water from ANY height! I’ve done it countless times in Minecraft!
Even non-cartoony, somewhat serious games do it.
Horizon Zero Dawn does it. Even has a few spots where you’re supposed to jump semi-blindly into dark pits because you can vaguely see a body of water deep down.
Even ignoring the fact that anyone but a olympic-level diver would just crash against the surface and die horribly, has Aloy considered that for all she knows it could be a 10cm deep puddle?
I just watched the new Jurassic Park movie yesterday and a guy falls 500 feet into a shallow river and is completely unhurt so now I don’t know who to believe
Believe your eyes not what some dumbass online says
How are they supposed to do that, push someone out of an airplane “for scientific purposes” to see what happens?
Even better: if there is an ant nest nearby, you should land there
Why the hell are you down voted? It’s true.
Because responding seriously to a comment that is obviously tongue in cheek is annoying.
Thanks for explaining - seriously.
As a neurologic divergent I literally do not see it that way. So I would now criticize the tolerance of neurotypicals and get me downvoted. 😁
Is this why we can’t see John Cena? He’s a ghost who died as a horny teenager in puberty?
Show me a pussy that’s given up
thought you had a point, but C-sections exist for a reason
That’s the baby giving up.
yhea, he came in unassisted, he can get himself out
