Because I hate psychological abuse of children, I ironically love this. Similar to throwing a plate of food on the ground and yelling, “clean it up.”
It feels weird to date the comic with the date it was recently published on the website rather than the 1987 we see in the Copyright text and can immediately feel in the outdated joke
Why do you feel that the joke is outdated?
Dad would be controlling the “thumper” with an app today.
One day people will be beaming terrifying thoughts directly into their children’s minds and this comic won’t make any sense at all.
Hit that kid’s neuralink with a flipper zero and beam the entire anthology of Dracula Flow, they beam back skibidi_toilet_downpitched.exe, “the door opens…and it opens outward: we’ve been inside what we wanted all along. Das ist komisch.”
Draw that though
“lulz, no one uses a wired connection to control their child-terrifier machine anymore” and “lulz, why is the man holding sheets of paper in his lap”
Maybe, I dunno… the joke feels timeless enough to this old man.
Fuckin’ zoomers
Back in my day, my dad thought it was hilarious to deliberately frighten me and I, uh, didn’t like it.
So it’s not outdated, it just strikes a personal chord.
I’m glad you two worked that out without me
