all the fundamentalists would be no longer religious in a hot second if faced with taking accountability was a primary feature
I really enjoy your art style. I wish I had one that was instantly recognizable like that!
the expressions and the movement man, I fucking love these comics!!
How is this funny or even clever?
It’s clever because “he” still hasn’t learned a thing and now blames the omniscient being instead of himself.
Something about omnipotence being used to settle such a trivial and mundane argument is kinda funny but yeah there’s probably a better version of this comic possible by someone funnier than me
If you don’t think it’s funny that’s OK. I’m just gonna explain why I think it’s hilarious.
See, the gag of “an omniscient god hanging out with you” could be done in a single panel. Maybe the second panel, slightly modified, maybe it shows the boy and the girl standing next to a broken vase or something. But this comic extends it another couple panels. You see the crying kid and the smug girl. You see the kid with a freakin dunce cap on and the two other kids (with the god) looking at him. You see that their life really is worse because of this. The smug expression and the dunce cap are secondary gags, the real joke is that the stirp’s saying: see? it really is bad. See this? See this?
I think it’s pretty funny, but if you don’t agree that makes sense too.
It’s not funny and none of what you just repeated is clever or novel. It’s just… Literal.
That’s fine that you think so. Humor’s subjective. tbh I was struggling to explain why I liked this particular strip, because humor is hard to explain. And sometimes this cartoonist’s humor doesn’t do it for me either. I think that’s part of why humor is so valuable, bc of its subjectivity and fragility.
Art can sometimes simply reflect reality.
The community is called “comic strips” not “things that make ORbituary giggle”.
So, no opinions.
Check.
You can have lots of opinions. That doesn’t mean they’re topical or useful or above criticism.
Unless I can’t have an opinion?
I want my own all knowing god.
I don’t want to be all knowing; Watchmen demonstrated how much that would suck. But having an omniscient floating ball that I can ask questions and get straightforward answers; I could abuse that capability endlessly.
I think my wife and I are both wise enough to avoid using it for spousal discovery: if she wants to tell me her body count, she will. So It’d quickly escalate from the trivial to the existential, and then we’d make a lot of money and maybe solve some world problems on the side.
i definitely want a personal, floating, omniscient, question-answering god.
God’s a lil fuckin snitch
lot of religion in these lately
Like The Beach Boys said, “God Only Knows”. He may know, but He doesn’t give a fuck about doing anything good about it.
Literally every driver caught speeding.
