Breaking the mold. I like it. 😎👍
Just depressing, either he is being sarcastic or a jackass
Imagine how it would be if some random secretary in your workplace would do as she did. Imagine the same with opposite sexes.
I think the depressing part is to see the own expectations and how these comics are feeding them. He has the right to not like the person and she has no right to touch him without his permission
Why did you assume the female is a secretary? That’s not a common title anymore.
Why do you think people are hugging each other at work? We’re not.
Either she’s his girlfriend and he’s just a complete asshole, or she’s his girlfriend and he’s being a sarcastic jackass(this is the only “good” scenario), or she’s a clingy type who calls herself his girlfriend even though he’s not into her at all and he’s either set boundaries she ignores or he just doesn’t really care if she invades his space like that.
No matter what, this comic sucks.
Yeah, “subverting” basic human love is just depressing
Maybe their relationship is fueled, in part, by sarcasm and thats just part of their dynamic. By being sarcastic, he’s actually demonstrated that his battery has recharged.
This is the case it was badly conveyed.
He’s smiling in the last panel.
Except, they included his uncharged battery in most frames.
Or that batteries don’t actually work like that
Well, batteries only charge when you plug them in. (hint hint)
Good take. That’s the only way I can get any wholesomeness out of the comic. Otherwise it just feels awkward and bad!
I’m very much feeling the last scenario. She seems incredibly clingy.
It’s called dark humor. Carful or you might drown in your own tears.
Dark humor has to actually be funny.
Dark humor like any humor is subjective. Funny to one, not to the other.
Yeah, I’d downvote it, but it is currently showing 666 net votes, and that captures how I feel about it even better.
I could use a hug and/or girlfriend…
Best I can do is internet high five. I smacked my hand on the phone screen. You do the same.
Edit: I’m slapping the shit out of my phone screen. There are more than enough high fives to go around for all of you. Do NOT put any other part of your body to your phone screen as I ONLY consent to virtual high five and no other virtual hand activity.

Thanks for patting my head. Get scammed lmfao
ಠ_ಠ
Be thankful they didn’t do something worse, I guess
here you go: ✋
Sorry, I intercepted it.
Kapwing! I redirected your intercept back on course.
I did that water drop thing from Kung Fu Panda 2 to strategically and majestically lead it off course once more
don’t we all
🫂
I also want to use your girlfriend
Hug if true.
What are your weekend plans? Getting out there?
I’m sick, so nothing :(
This is a much better looking style than Adam Ellis’s old buzzfeed art style but I don’t know if the joke lands any better.
Wait, is this Adam Ellis??
Well adamtots is his instagram handle
I have coworkers who hug on success. They’ll look over at my desk and do little air pats.
Honestly the the first time had people respect that. 🙏
If Millenial, why Hate Wife-shaped?
A lot of guys do hate their girlfriends, and view them as sex dispensers and maids.
Being trans didn’t even help me escape. It really fucking sucks at the end of a 7 year old relationship to finally understand that you were there to make his peepee feel good and clean up after him while he plays vidya. Difficult for me to even believe love exists lol.
Damn. I’m sorry this happened to you. 7 years in the fuckzone is awful.
That blows. Being in a relationship has been the hardest experience of my life. I’ve had to step up in a lot of ways, and so has my SO. But we’re both happy together and are in it for the long haul.
You deserve someone that chooses to improve themself for you!
it’s not his wife, nor his girlfriend
She says “hugged by his quirky girlfriend” which suggests they might be, or at least that’s how she sees the relationship. Could be clearer.
yeah judging by the guy’s response it seems like he’s not interested in her, and maybe she’s trying to change his mind?
also the artist of this comic is gay so maybe the guy in this comic is too and that’s why he’s uninterested
No something sinister is going on and I’m going to be angry about it dangit
oh sorry my bad, you’re totally right!!
Well that’s a rude thing to say to your… girlfriend?
Or she just isnt his girlfriend and is simply being an invasive asshole.
I think the implication is that she is his girlfriend and he just wants to break up.
Which is a bit weird, because look at that t-shirt. She’s clearly marriage material.
Perhaps they’re in what the kids call a “situationship”.
Maybe he’s just an ass and she thinks he’s joking
That was how I read it at first too, but she at least implies that she is his “quirky girlfriend” depending on how you interpret it.
I deleted it. Now you can sleep, gofsckyourself@lemmy.world.
Time and place, my guy. One, you didn’t mark this as NSFW, and two this isn’t a NSFW community.
NSFW tags are only available for posts, not comments. He did use the spoiler tag and mentioned that it contains NSFW content. But as some said, some clients don’t interpret them correctly which isn’t really his fault (one would assume that to work consistently…)
- TIL you cannot NSFW tag a comment. Thank you.
- No not originally he didn’t, when I replied there was nothing but the image itself. Spoiler tags work on my client but this wasn’t spoilered.
Yeah sry, couldn’t find the nsfw tag. Thought people might not mind.
Fun fact: spoiler tags do not work across all lemmy platforms.
Not my fault for them not working everywhere. But yeah, it is my fault for not reading community rules. Sry.
Thanks for owning it. Didn’t see this blowing up in the way it did, and deleting was probably the best call. Tbf I chuckled, but also knew this wasn’t the right place for it. No pearls were clutched, but images like that are for my OTHER account.

Why the hell are you posting porn? Did you actually think that people would like that? Go back to 4chan.
Well, fifteen people did. Anyways, sry. It was meant to be a joke.
Bad joke in the wrong place. It’s clearly stated in the community that NSFW content like that is prohibited. That allows people to expect not to randomly run into porn when they don’t want to. Yet here you are shoving porn into people faces against their will. “Other people like it” is not an excuse for selfishness like this.
You say “sry” but you still don’t remove your comment and the fact you don’t even bother to spell out the word belies that sentiment. I hope you see how bafflingly rude you’ve been here.
It’s clearly stated in the community
Always tickles my funny bone when people assume anyone’s reading the sidebar when most apps do their damndest to hide it behind multiple clicks or taps
hope you see how bafflingly rude you’ve been here.
And I hope you see how bafflingly naive you are, the dude doesn’t give a shit if you considered it rude or not (especially from someone with a name like that, bruh)
It’s your obligation to make sure you abide by the rules of the community when you are participating in it. So, yes, a person should assume that the sidebar is read. I can understand skipping reading the rules when you are making a normal comment, but if you’re going to post literal porn, then you better damn well check the rules first because most communities would not allow it.
It’s not naive to hope a message gets across. In fact, I said “hope” specifically because it’s not an expectation, as they’ve shown evidence to not care about others. Though, it’s odd they would waste their time with a meaningless reply to my comment if they at least didn’t care at least a little; thus, the hope.
Lastly, I hope you realize how much of an ass you’ve made yourself out to be considering how you’ve made apparent your capability of being ignorant and hasty. Particularly in that you did not even fully read my username and instead assumed you know what my username is. I suggest you familiarize yourself with Linux, on top of your clearly dire need to learn how to not jump to conclusions and out yourself as a fool. However, I’m confident my hope won’t be met with a positive result, since your comment serves no purpose other than an attempt to be rude for fun. I pity puny people that placate their propensity for pleasure by pathetically peddling pejorative speech upon other people.
the fact you don’t even bother to spell out the word belies that sentiment
bafflingly rude
Because no one thinks someone is gonna take a stupid Image this seriously. I’m really sorry I broke the rules I didn’t bother to read, but I’m honestly not sorry you’re pissed. You can do as your username suggests. chill lol. Imagine getting yourself worked over the rules of an internet community.
You’re missing the point. I’m not chastising you because of the rule alone.
I already said this before:
That allows people to expect not to randomly run into porn
Do you think everyone is okay with just having porn on their phone out in public?
Oh no, someone has unlicensed fun!
I laughed, my dude.
Well I thought it was funny
Was it good porn
No, it was a heavily pixelated low quality poster with some nude girls and the caption ‘Invasive Assholes’.
I couldn’t figure it out
Like the very worst reading of it would have someone thinking the author is… well I don’t want to say because I don’t believe it
.
Maybe you can hear someone thinking “incel” even though highly doubt
I mean, the issue is that this is clearly from a webcomic that no one here reads. And web comics typically have huge amounts of lore about their characters and relationships that can’t be conveyed in a single image. Maybe it actually is funny, if all of us had read the last 1000 pages of the web comic leading up to this… But we didn’t. So we are left with two possible, not mutually exclusive scenarios:
- This comic sucks.
- OP sucks, for posting a comic that requires more context than anyone here has.
Ahahahaha thank you great comment
Maybe she’s a clingy lady who finds him attractive and is overly forward but the feeling isn’t mutual.
He’s well dressed
Has nice pleats
Meanwhile she’s actually wearing that dumb shirt? The one that has narwhal bacon on the back presumably
Theory approved
Edit: oh, he came home drained from work to her in her comfy clothes and he loves to tease her?

She makes me want to play Rift of the Necrodancer.
