I kind of understand fashion shows with exotic outfits not meant to show off things people will actually wear but just to make a statement within an artform.

I will not now, not ever understand the wankery at car shows where automakers will design concept cars not even close to anything a human being will ever be regularly driving. Yeah, some artistic design goes into a car, but even more than fashion, the designs are constrained predominantly by engineering challenges.

It’s just: “Hey, I know we’re intentionally ruining the planet and bribing/extorting your governments to let us, but maybe one day it’ll be cloaked in the aesthetic of a shitty sci-fi utopia instead of a shitty sci-fi dystopia.”

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)
