I had to read it three times, because I didn't find it funny at all in any sense and I was trying to find a funny twist, but I didn't succeed. It's too real for me

It's just funny-sad. We both have it the easiest and the hardest.

I didn't laugh either. Though I think the contradiction of "life fucking sucked back then" followed by "life was fucking awesome back then" was supposed to be funny.

Oooh, I think you're right. I was so carried by the reality of all the statements that I missed that the 2nd and 4th panels feature statements which are diametrically opposite.

Thanks!!!

I'm still not laughing, but I get the twist and why it's funny!
