Breaking the mold. I like it. πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

Just depressing, either he is being sarcastic or a jackass

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is the case it was badly conveyed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago

He's smiling in the last panel.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Except, they included his uncharged battery in most frames.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or that batteries don't actually work like that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

Well, batteries only charge when you plug them in. (hint hint)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Good take. That’s the only way I can get any wholesomeness out of the comic. Otherwise it just feels awkward and bad!

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.

Kapwing! I redirected your intercept back on course.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

I did that water drop thing from Kung Fu Panda 2 to strategically and majestically lead it off course once more

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. πŸ™

[–] [email protected] 90 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Well that's a rude thing to say to your... girlfriend?

[–] [email protected] 87 points 2 days ago (30 children)

Or she just isnt his girlfriend and is simply being an invasive asshole.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

If Millenial, why Hate Wife-shaped?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Damn. I'm sorry this happened to you. 7 years in the fuckzone is awful.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

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!

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wait, is this Adam Ellis??
