No real context, the joke is just that you think he's going to have a serious solution to nuclear fallout only to say something ridiculous instead

Cause I love him and will spam him until everybody else does too (or until they ask me politely to stop)

I totally get this, that one family guy scene where Brian doesn't know what a Davenport was (same). I always thought a credenza was like a patio, didn't even realize it was furniture.

In all sincerity, I would've never guessed it was a nazi tattoo. I didn't even know about the totenkopf until the Platner headlines started. It really did look like a generic skull tattoo to me . Maybe that speaks to history illiteracy in the US, but it's pretty damn plausible he had no clue imo. The fact that he immediately got it covered is also strong argument for it.

on What a silly monkey · c/comicstrips · 29 pts · 94d

This is one of my favorite comics of all time, so lemme do my best to explain why I love it so much. Everything but the last panel sets up this absurdist world like an epic adventure movie. The "camera angles" mimic something like Bladerunner 2049, just very cinematic, all about a hyper intelligent ape trying to find himself and see true freedom. The panels feel very intentionally drawn to imitate a very serious drama film, taking itself very seriously as the story unfolds.

And then the last panel is the rugpull / punch line. Despite the way it's trying to make you think that this is a serious story of discovery and freedom, it turns out all the monkey wanted all along was a bunch of bananas. The journey from silly -> serious -> even sillier is just chefs kiss hilarious to me.

There were reports last month of Navy members getting steak and lobster, which is usually a pizza index type notifier that war is about to happen. With over a million people in the US armed forces, there's things I'm a lot more pissed off about then them having a fancy meal
