You can tell someone has artistic chops when they're doing something that's successful, very intentional, and yet completely weird. I'm talking about the comic artist, not the kid inside the comic lol

Is this in reference to the eyes? I rapid-fired through the stages of grief looking at them before landing on "It's neat. They look weird but the artist makes it work"

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 16 points 10 months ago

Yep, the eyes are deliberately weird but they work

Extra Fabulous, if you will

I won't. But Zach M Stafford will.

That boy ain’t right.

[–] shugosha@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I didn't get it.

Then after adjusting my old eyes, I realized she didn't say "clocks".

Alright boss, I'm cockin' out for the night

Don't forget to punch the time cock

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Most people dream in color, but extraFabulousComics dreams in cotton candy.

[–] GlitterInfection@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

I would like to meet this Private.

That N64 controller will give you unrealistic body standards.

Even more hilarious when you realize that the veteran has only one leg in the drawing. Edit: Well excuse me for thinking that the punchline was that the son had just pivoted to drawing really depressing topics garnering the reaction from the parents.

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

Congratulation on your reading skills.

[–] quicksand@lemm.ee 15 points 10 months ago (2 children)

What else was hilarious about it?

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 17 points 10 months ago

The shockingly large penis of the one-legged man.

[–] GetKebab@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Technically you're correct, and I wish I could agree. However, the line "I'm so glad our son has moved away from drawing huge cocks" was already pretty great.

[–] BluesF@feddit.uk 4 points 10 months ago

Man I did not get this joke at all before reading this lmao

[–] Aecosthedark@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Thats how i read it dude. Your edit made me see what the artist was going for, thank you.
