I used to smoke.

I still do, but I used to, too.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I used to, and this comic makes me miss it.

3rd panel kid is cool as shit

Was this supposed to be funny? Where’s the joke?

[–] LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 2 days ago

I get the sense the artist is throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks. (Which I think is pretty bold, but I do also remember a bit of advice years ago which boiled down to "you don't need to share everything you make")

Seems more like satire than a comedy. Maybe OP just hates smoking/smokers

[–] toast@retrolemmy.com 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

How would it even be satiric? Sardonic, perhaps. Comedic, no.

[–] abcdqfr@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That comment was funnier than this comic and you didn't even have to draw a picture.

It wasn't but now I want a cigarette

These comics are unbearably dumb. Please stop.

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

Seriously. They are the epitome of braindead, surface-level takes with silly faces. This is content that only pre-teens would find deep.

if you don't like it ignore it, these comics are fun, please continue

[–] expr@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You actually like them? Honestly? I don't think you do.

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 1 day ago

I'll tell you the truth, they are so unfunny and random they don't even look man-made.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

there are fine, don't hate them, but we don't gain anything by telling people their art sucks, at best you are being an asshole, at worse you actually hurting someone who is just trying to share their art. don't like it, just ignoring it, if you really really hate it, just block the user and you'll never see them again.

don't you know how it feels to do something and people be unreasonably mean about it?

Let them be, maybe if you have constructive criticism.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I've some constructive criticism for you: it's not necessary to white-knight for every shitty artist on the internet. These comics are objectively crap.

Have no fear, you and OP are about to be blocked.

Oh no, an asshole is blocking me, the horror.

There's a difference between white knighting and giving you constructive criticism, like don't be a cunt.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

I've got constructive criticism for you: stop being an asshole.
