This life

Varkov · 2007-11-15 11:43:09

So I, like many others read the metro on the way to work in the morning. On the second page the comic for what seems like the last two weeks has been this life. I just dont get it. :confused: There was one with a homless guy sitting outside GAP with a sign saying 2help the homless". That's not funny. Is it something to do…

Bring back Nemi, I say. Liza seems to put a lot more effort into her artwork and is actually funny.

Thats why they're called the funnies!

You're not meant to get it. That's the joke. Think about it.

Nemi's an alco slut-bag though.

The joke is that the tramp is sitting outside a clothes store, where likely well to do teens and twenty somethings will be passing, with a sign translated to txt that they would probably be more likely to understand.

Its funny.

Probably, but its pretty good as is. For the comic to have been completely understandable you need to show that he was in fact trying to communicate something, and so need to be pretty basic in the txt being used. Otherwise it could just be someone standing there with random garbage on a board.
