    I’m not 100% sure, but I think it’s funny for the following reason:

    Ordinarily you’d expect the strip to be like: panel 1 Jon says something trying to be funny, panel 2 Liz says something in reaction maybe riffing off it or gently deflecting, panel 3 Jon says something back and maybe Garfield thinks something wry.

    But instead, in panel 2 Liz shoots him down hard and says she isn’t going to put up with his BS. Jon’s only possible move is a quick retreat. It’s a subversion of the reader’s expectations.




















  • visiting a neat-sounding community and realizing all the posts are by the single moderator (and are getting less and less frequent).

    This will be a key moment towards Lemmy’s growth or decline. Especially in non-tech/meme/politics communities, it’s so easy for the only poster be a single person who is posting daily, and who then simply runs out of content. Maybe the solution is for each frequent poster to post non-daily on several different communities. Anyway, check out !fedigrow@lemm.ee, @Blaze@reddthat.com has started posting a weekly thread on “How is your niche community doing?”
