Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The hands, specifically the two giant fingers, really creep me out.

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don’t get what they did with the hot dog bun. At first I didn’t get it, then I thought I got it as a euphemism with the hot dog, but the bun really throws me off. Help?

Weird guy stuck his johnson in a hot dog bun at the grocery store, hence why he's the defendant pictured in a criminal hearing

[+] Opafi@feddit.de -6 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Didn't get it as well. A hot dog bun looks nothing like an ear. Where would he have put the q-tip? Came looking for an explanation in the comments.

It's really just a dick joke? What does a dick have to do with q-tips? Or ears? Like, that's a really weird setup. If you're going for humour-for-6-year-olds, why bother with all that prologue stuff that isn't really connected to the joke anyway?

[–] Gremour@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Q-tip fits the ear. Dick fits the bun.

Your comment made me understand the 'joke' but it didn't make the comic funny. This is low-brow humor at absolute best.

[–] whenigrowup356@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Explaining a joke never makes it funny.

Also, you're calling a joke low-brow while also admitting you didn't understand it.

Do you also need me to explain why that's a self-own?

[–] Opafi@feddit.de -3 points 6 months ago

Also, you're calling a joke low-brow while also admitting you didn't understand it.

The part that's hard to understand is the convoluted setup with the q-tip. That comic is like that meme with the guy doing a kick flip on a rake... Two panels that have a weird setup with a statement that actually runs contrary to what doctors currently recommend, just to end up with "lol, I pulled out da penis in public and put it in bread! Funny!". It suggests more depth than it delivers so it leaves readers wondering what the hell they missed... Just to then ask people and realise: nothing.

Lol imagine being the guy that thinks understanding unintelligent 'humor' is somehow a flex.

[–] whenigrowup356@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Imagine being this much of a jerk over a webcomic

[–] OneMansTrash@lemmy.ml -5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Imagine being so sensitive over a webcomic. What, did you draw it or pen the idea? Why so defensive?

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Some of us just like to troll haters like you.

You still kept replying after all.

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's not just "lol dicks." With just a single balloon of words, we can imply that this dude stuck his dick in a hot dog bun in public, got arrested and is on trial, and this is the best defense he could think of.

[–] Opafi@feddit.de -3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's not just "lol dicks."

proceeds to explain the dick joke

Additionally, you don't need the first two panels. Like, not at all. It's a dick joke with a long setup that seems to give it more depth when it doesn't.

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

hates on the joke

Admits they didn't get the joke

Proceeds to double down on their missing the joke and hating on it, even after it was explained by multiple people.

Wanna keep going? I can do this all day.
