The anti-Roma pun becomes a lot less clever once you realize the the word "gyp" is derived from the slur.
yeah I was wondering if there was some deeper pun I missed
Trusty Waterbeds
My back is aching just thinking about those
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.
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
beauty standards for men sure were... different in those days
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.
though.
