    I made the determination the other way around. The comic is stupid, therefore I disagree with him.

    But I didn’t say stupid, I said witty. The comic is DEFINITELY not witty. Even someone who agrees with the comic should see that.

      …And since the comic is not stupid, what does it say about you?

        Ignoring that second part I see. Glad to know I got that right.

        The comic is extremely stupid. What’s the punch line? Where is the exaggeration? Where’s the twist of expectations? This is just the artist, who believes that women act like this, drawing women acting like this. That’s not funny or witty or entertaining. That’s documentation. Maybe it could be spun as some sort of anti-humor. But that would require wit, and we’ve covered that.

        Or maybe you find it relatable and the reason you like it is “He’s saying the thing we’re not allowed to say!”? In which case, the comic is still stupid. You are allowed to say that. And we’re allowed to judge him for saying such a stupid thing.

            Ok, what I think it is: it’s a commentary on how women are ridiculous for dressing provocatively and then not expecting to get male attention for dressing that way.

            Now please, explain what I’m missing.

              Nope. It is about some women walking with most of their tits exposed and then vilifying men for looking at them.

              But I guess you missed this part.

                Sure. Different angle on the same thing. As far as I can see, the author is still simply documenting what he thinks happens in the world.

                So where’s the funny? Where’s the subversion of expectations? Where’s the ol switcheroo? What part of this makes you have any reaction at all?
