There are two ways to interpret this comic:
-
men are incapable of giving complements for anything but looks.
-
her looks are the only thing worth praising
Or: they don’t know anything about her and only have her appearance to go off.
-
“You gals get compliments ?”
“Give me a complement that isn’t about my looks”
“Well, you gotta be pretty to receive those”
“Bang! bang! bang!”
…
the hostage walk away…
Men getting angry. “Last compliment I got was 15 years ago. You at least get compliments!”
Careful. Last time there was a comic about complimenting men it got deleted because uh… Ah yes. Too wholesome.
you know how to take charge
Gotta admire how assertive she is
She’s being aggressive though
Call it enthusiasm
A little bit active-aggressive.
You have a wonderful commitment to your goals.
You are very good at taking control of a situation
I like the way you handle that pistol, if you know what I mean.
u talk so sxy bb
“You seem to seriously know what you want and to be willing to do whatever it takes to get it”
You have a very pretty… pistol.
Can’t believe Cosmic Dare (Pretty with a Pistol) isn’t here already. Go watch Cowboy Bebop stat!
But like, it seems like she’s a complete stranger to them, how are they supposed to compliment her on anything other than her looks? This comic is trying to make some sort of point but it’s not making that point.
It was drawn by someone who only gets compliments on their looks. It checks out.
“You seem to be very determined and willing to get out of your comfort zone while asking for what you want.”
That might work. You should at least phrase it more positively: “You’re very brave.” Your version is more of a neutral observation IMHO.
You handle that gun like a professional. I like your red shirt. I like your brown pants. I like your white shoes. You seem like a very take charge person.
That was after putting 5 seconds of thought into it.

3/5 of those were about her looks. The other two, yeah, I thought of that option just before posting but figured I’d let someone else say it. Just hoped they’d be less condescending about it.
is that about looks or taste?
Do you determine color by looking or by tasting? (I’m being intentionally obstinate to a degree)
I only taste colors with gatoraid. purple is the best.
Skittles are offended.
Disagree. “Your looks” are features of you whereas your clothing and accessories are choices you make.
Less condescending? On the internet? Sir, that ship has unfortunately sailed years ago.
She actually has terrible trigger discipline.
You have some serious balls to come in here and make demands like that.
Not sure if that’s actually better, but it’s not about looks.
A pretty looking pistol???
“Wait, please! I swear your looks aren’t even worth noting, truly! I would never compliment them!”
You are very smart…ly dressed!
objectification
The hostage
I see what you did there. Did you?
