This one in the notes mentions its like fights they have had and there has been at least one comic on spouse throwing something out. Because it used non family characters I assumed it was something but if it did not make it a point of telling the reader I would have never gotten the intention. Its sorta interesting how sometimes with this stuff she will insert herself talking with a stranger or obby or such and sometimes they are all just generic npc figures they use. My guess is it depends on how close they are to the topic. At least I know that type of thing has effected how I do mmo characters (how invested I am with them).

    I can be sympathetic to both characters in this comic, so I don't find it to be a good representation of the Iran issue.

    I think that was intentional. You do have the issues with iran in terms of their own peoples freedom which iran and trump are using as justification. Its like if hitler was for universal income it would still be a great idea but not because hitler was for it.

    I'm totally with this for the first half, then it made me feel dumb. I am a victim of being the chief household cook and having my ancient gear tossed without being replaced, but I've never bombed Iran. Is it one of those comics just not aimed at me?

    Im not totally sure either. I think the message is that a lot of countries / groups wanted something to be done about Iran but while they were discussing it Trump just pulled a leroy jenkins on that shit and now they're mad about it.

  • I normally like their stuff, but this one's a miss for me on a bunch of different levels

    Which person is Trump? The lady allowing toxic chemicals in the food or the guy hurting her feelings? I'm not getting it.

    The implication being that bombing Iran was the right thing to do but Trump just didn't do it the right way? I'm gonna have to strongly disagree. This feels totally out of character for this comic

    Is this one of those jokes you need to follow the author's social media to understand?
