The anti-Roma pun becomes a lot less clever once you realize the the word "gyp" is derived from the slur.
my mother maintains the inauspicious position of being the only person i've ever known to insist upon a waterbed, and one of the kind with minimal baffles at that. i'm more baffled than that bed.
I always thought the unspoken point of the waterbed phenomenon was that you could use the rhythmic wave motion to power assist sexual cranking.
I was born after they were more or less gone from the scene, but the cultural references were always that dudes who bang a lot have waterbeds, ceiling mirrors, tiger print, etc.
this is not an elaborate "your mom" joke, I swear lol.
i dunno tbh with you, my mom's deal is that she's autistic and refuses to believe it. it's like a sensory comfort and cool in the summer or something
I liked them as a little kid, but never got to sleep on one. now that I'm an adult, all I see is the logistical nightmare of setting one up and the catastrophes that become possible with some giant bladder of water inside the house that could leak or burst.... and the whole time growing up, all the adults said they fail all the time, the sleep isn't restful because of all the rocking, etc.
I slept on a big ship for a while, where some people need like Dramamine and stuff. I was out like a light being subtly rocked like that.
I would totally love some hassle free opportunity to try one out for a week.
I feel like nobody with a water bed had pets
Like my cats would absolutely fuck it up and flood the bedroom if I had one
Not only that, but having a bladder full of high heat capacity water sucking up every joule of body heat from you will make for a very sniffly waking up.
When I learned that almost every waterbed needs a heater I wondered how much energy is wasted on something that cloth and foam can do by just existing.
I always thought the unspoken point of the waterbed phenomenon was that you could use the rhythmic wave motion to power assist sexual cranking.
It fought back at you, actually. Very difficult to get a good rhythm going. But they did have heaters and that was amazingly comfortable.
No shit, just look at the clothes of the era. The jean jacket was probably the only good clothing item in circulation at the time, which shows how low the bar was.
Is this the first sighting of a large adult son in a Kelly comic?
An inauspicious debut if so. This one is the worst in a while. I like seeing '70s Kelly, though
Sometimes his boomerness just needs a release I guess.
My brain placed 'large' in front of adult son due to conditioning. It didn't notice the word large wasn't there until a second read
I don't understand the kelly slop. Is his work supposed to be satire? am I missing something or just stupid? His stuff gets posted all the time and I dont know why anyone likes it.
it's the onion. it's a parody of right wing cartoonists. it's like parody Ben Garrison.
the comic in the OP is meant to being making fun of the way that conservative men view women. the same people are in both panels and the adult son resembles the man, same clothing and hair. the comic says "forge a relationship with my adult son", however it safe to say that the son belongs to both of them. the comic portrays the man as the victim, despite him being an absent father to his own son.

wow that's the first time that I am learning this. I had assumed that the random american cartoonist was a radical marxist based on cartoons that they had drawn for a satirical internet newspaper. (me if I was delusional)
it's an internet comic. sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's not. it's safe to say that 95% of web comics are made by liberals. it's okay to laugh at comics.
Weirdly aggressive response. I had assumed he may have been further left than he actually was, since in some of his cartoons he, for example, mocks anti-China hysteria.
