Wait so she's poisoning his grandma?

if you are serious, no, she is paying the caretaker she rented so she could go out momentarily. That's her sick mother.

I think the extra comic is trying to stress who the real loser is, and its not the woman whose taking care of her elder mother.

a few very rich people have recently been able to see earth from near space... and they're the meanest assholes humanity have ever encountered.

While I agree that they are terrible people, they aren't even close to humanity's meanest.

Well, he's right, if she had seen the view from space he wouldn't have dissed her so the world would have been a nicer place >:)

Reminds me of Brian Regan 'walking on the moon'

"If everyone could see it"

Proceeds to show an alternate future where having seen it is apparently a status symbol, which implies that not everyone is able to see it

I guess the artist just wanted to make a "haha rich people bad" joke, but surely there are other ways to make the same joke without completely ignoring the hypothetical scenario you described literally one panel before?
