It took me until the third panel to realize that they weren’t talking to somebody actively hanging themselves.

Tarzan definitely was, at least in the 1999 Disney film. The only female gorilla roughly his age that he was close with was Terk, and it’s clear they have a cousinly, lightheartedly standoffish relationship. The others in the tribe treat him prejudicially as an outsider.

They say the 1980s are coming back. Let’s bring them back in style.

What interest would I have in a topic

You decided to write a passionately spiteful comment about it; not my job to decide why.

“When I go to [do normal, totally uncontroversial thing]… and [nonsensical catastrophe that I made up in my head happens].”

hopefully it’s permanently impassable.

You… Didn’t read any of this or understand how any of this works, did you?

They say the only option is to wait for the ice block, called a serac, to melt – which they hope will happen within days.

Yeah, and it’s about to be 2 deep 4 him.

Yeah, that T. rex in the book is clearly about to do something terrible.

Very quick and probably wrong guess: might be Carlotta Zanettini? If nothing else, you might like her art if you like this. The EFF doesn’t credit the banner anywhere that I can tell.

Edit: My best guess is that I’m wrong and that it’s in-house.

Someone save the record of our debts!

Yeah, totally understandable!

I had my first actual small internal crisis the other day where I felt brief but real panic, like I was drowning:

The Titan submersible is less than two months from its three-year implosionversary. Time stopped feeling real. Like, no, right? Surely no?

Even then, I think the comic would be funnier if the dissolving man weren’t saying anything at all, but that’s less about cutting out panels and more generally about not making the joke overwrought near the end.

I’m noticing (to my tastes) a pattern with LastPlaceComics: funny premises and well-executed but overstay past when the strip should’ve ended. End before the 6th panel, and this comic is instantly funnier.

(The first example I saw of this the one where two teens pull up to a fast food drive-thru and ask for an Order 66 as a prank, but the employees really do it. It’s a solid comic until they run the joke completely into the ground with multiple too many panels)

I have to both agree that it’s a placement improvement in terms of ergonomics

This has to be trolling. Like, no, it’s not, unless you prioritize accessing the watchface and functionally nothing else in your day-to-day life. (This is even just accounting for ergonomics – and assuming this is achiral and can be transferred easily to the right hand (edit: wait, no, it’s chiral; even less ergonomic) – not how conspicuously stupid it looks.)

• Putting it on and taking it off is more complicated because you have to slide it over your thumb and do a tiny little strap and then an even tinier strap.
• Want to hold hands with a partner? I’m sure this’ll spice things up.
• What about that entire region of your palm? Who needs that all sensation when you can have a bunch of useless leather anyway?
• Continuing from the last point: inconsistency in the coverage of your palm just makes holding things weirder, especially including the phone your watch is likely talking with.
• Walking forward in a normal posture? Have fun near-inevitably smacking the shit out of your $300 smartwatch if you aren’t paying attention.
• Hot, sweaty day? Good thing there’s way more surface area covered by your clammy, leather watch on one of the most sensitive parts of your body.
• This genuinely looks like you’ll feel the edge of the leather hit your arm whenever you move your hand in certain ways. More importantly, you’ll feel the leather whenever you have your fingers curled in or hands together, and you’ll likely feel skin too, so it’ll just feel weird because of the constant inconsistency. It’d be so hard to become “nose blind” to because it’s always changing just a little bit.
• The ergonomics of charging this thing are surely more awkward than just a straight strap. And it’s even screwed in, so you can’t claim you easily pop the watch out and charge like that.
• Want to hide your $300 watch under a long sleeve? Too bad, fuckass.
• Choosing to switch it to upside-down? Too bad, fuckass; it’s in this one position you absolutely cannot adjust even a little.
• Trying to get actual, blue-collar work done for more than 10 seconds? Your $50 or whatever leather strap will be looking incredible by the end of it.
• As you pointed out: went to the bathroom and want to literally wash your hands? 1) Have fun wiping with this fucking thing on, and 2) as you point out, have fun washing.
• Edit: This thing would get so germy. Not even just accruing grime and wearing down from touching stuff (even if you were really discerning about what you touch), but the thing would practically be a toilet seat of germs. At least you wash your hands fairly regularly and don’t hold out your smartphone for someone to shake as a friendly greeting.
• Edit 2: ffs you can’t even wear gloves

Glancing to look at your watch is not that onerous even when done relatively frequently. Literally what could your day-to-day life possibly be that this is more ergonomical?
