I get the idea and I like it; but please don’t put poverty in this comics. Poor people aren’t envious of richer people, they deserve to live normally.
You’re assuming he’s poor, and not just shit at cooking, or too apathetic to try or learn.
How likely do you think it is that the auth9r meant that and not that he was poor…?
Look at the walls.
I think he’s going for a hipster New York Loft aesthetic.
As someone who was poor and now is not poor, that’s bullshit. I was for sure envious of well-off folks around me. Now I absolutely don’t take it for granted.
It wasn’t envy. It was a normal reaction to an unjust situation.
Don’t tell me how I feel
You’re right sorry. So it was envy. But I don’t think it’s the same kind of envy, coming from someone who also left poverty, and felt that too.
boooo
I mean, same for all the other examples.
Poverty shouldn’t exist.
To loose a dog, to be overweight, to see a relationship end are sad but normal things. Poverty isn’t.
the cops shot their dog. if you are adding in your own back stories then I’ll add mine.
I didn’t add anything. I just know how to.read an image. Elementary school stuff.
so what made you conclude poverty?
I think its a valid example though. Sometimes poor people can save up to go out once and splurge on lobster. People tend to post the highlights of their lives on social media. I think the point here is to not buy into it so much
Fuck
Grass is brown all the way around
I think this lesson can be valuable but I also feel like it can be flippant to the point of implying everyone’s situation is equally bad or good, which is very dismissive of those in truly bad positions in life.
Verging on toxic positivity.
Judging what a bad position in life is is pretty subjective.
There are some we can probably all agree on as a bad position, but none of those portrayed here fit those.
especially since this comic includes a poor dude and it goes like “at least his dog is still alive”, bruh
You know you’re fucked up when seeing things that are happy makes you sad and angry.
Yeah, the last three panels actually bug me (though for different reasons).
Comparison is the thief of joy
Nah that would be Bill, who stole my bottle of Joy when he house sat.
buy it in bulk my dude, just use any ol squeeze bottle. Those bottles of Joy are easy come easy go
Did you really buy these, thisbenzinggring, or should I call you by your real name, Bill?
Especially easy go when Bill’s over
sobbing over my phone because I couldn’t stop a friend from pairing full-bodied red wine with lobster
sorry, drinking, can you help me out?
the 6th panel is chubby man’s son?
why is young couple from first owner in last panel?
i thought it was a generational story.
their dead brown dog is related to the white dog in panel 7?
I’d love to know how my drank messed me up, thanks.
Top panel sees Marta w/ new BF, is sad.
Next guy sees buff guy, is sad.
Next guy sees guy eating lobster, is sad.
Marta & BF see dog, miss theirs, are sad.
Everyone wants what someone else has.
thank you.
art style and similar physical features had me thinking it was generational rather than simultaneous.
appreciate it.
I thought the same. Or, ay least, that there were different connections than there were.
I find this sad yet soothing song very fitting.
We have lost our hearts
Trying to feel goodIs this loss?
Then it cuts to the dog using social media looking at skeletons.
Ha yeah everybody is miserable.
This hit me just right today. Good reminder to be grateful for what we have.
Oh is there a im14andthisisdeep instance now?
What’s 14 about a such a common issue countless adults face?
it’s more of a saying I guess it has something to do with adolescence and hormone nonsense
like all this stuff https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/im-14-and-this-is-deep/photos
Ya I just don’t think this one applies given how pervasive this issue is in adulthood. It’s a good reminder for those of all ages on social media.
This is like that other comic about ‘girls only like guys who treat them right’ (i dunno the name) but actually good.
