      Nope, just still not getting it.

      The joke is that he likes peeing in her mouth enough that he should want to do it in public?

      The joke still just reads to me that this is what the author masturbated to before posting. But 🎨 Artsy 🧑‍🎨

        Sorry I deleted my comment because I misread your first one.

        The joke, which is not funny enough to bear this level of explanation, is that she would do that and call it exposure therapy. That’s funny.

        My defense of the comic was more of an indictment of the average reddit/lemmy comic post, which very often literally have no punchline or stretch one panel of content into four.

          Its fine, I just literally passed it around my friends asking for help with the joke because I literally don’t get it being… anything other than a;
          “man if I had a goth girl I could just pee in her mouth instead of the bathroom” joke. Like that could even be funny to me I guess but this format just felt… Like they drew her on her knees first and invented a scenario around it after. And I haven’t found anything redeeming in it.

          Don’t get me wrong worse stuff is posted but this one still just hits me in all the wrong ways, from the lackluster punchline to the the frustrated walk off and the art style feeling cloned from other artists like Adam Ellis.

          I don’t like to think something is bad if it is not for me but I think I’m just frustrated by this one since it feels, off. And I’m just searching for what I am missing, cause it feels professionally bad.

            The focus of the comic is more on the male character with more panels showing his face and emphasizing his escalating reactions to being teased with various techniques (the squiggle line on the dialogue bubble in the third panel, the head turn line, the poses etc). What I like about it is how it depicts a relationship dynamic between them where he gets easily embarrassed, the goth girl doesn’t, and she takes advantage of this to mess with him. It’s obviously meant to be titillating but to me it does not seem like the sort of comic that has no substance other than that.
