where is the joke? is it just that people who use Botox to look different... look different?
I might be reading into it, but I thought the joke was that parents can react childishly when you change your appearance in a way they don't approve of. My mum keeps saying 'ooops I thought there was snot hanging from your nose but it's just you piercing', for example.
They need to make a piercing that looks like a blob of snot for people to wear around their parents.
I bet it exists. I'd check Etsy, but I'm too lazy.
What if she legit keeps thinking it's snot?
I never say it to my wife (I think people should utilize a filter between their thoughts and their lips, but my mom doesn't have a filter either) but I often catch a glimpse of my wife's glasses showing just a touch below her nose when looking from a particular angle, and I think she has snot starting to drip from her nose.
Also I hate the modern American version of female beauty. But my wife doesn't even wear makeup so I'm happy at home.
My wife only wears makeup if she's going to work and even then it's pretty minimal, as far as I'm concerned she can do whatever she wants with that stuff
ah that makes sense actually
She's also lacking the same purple skin tone as her mom, so I'm not sure what's up there either.
That's supposed to be lighting, the right is darker and the left is well lit.
Left definitely got them highbeams on
Her mom probably drink his colloidal silver.
The Grey Eminence always reigns from the shadows
That's just the makeup
Yep, different is the right word for the results of a lot of plastic surgery.
Getting some botox is not "a lot of plastic surgery" tho :P
they meant more "a wide variety" rather than "a large quantity" and were likely using plastic surgery for a catch all for elective procedures for aesthetic purposes.
"some botox" is not what the comic is about, clearly. It's about how many do it to a point where they are unrecognisable form before and mostly not in a good way.
Botox give people an uncanny valley effect.
She (the mom) have alzheimer.
