I absolutely adore the fact that this is the rose seller from the other comic

Gotta love that continuity!

Or they did it because it is easier to copy & paste than to create a whole new character, lol

Who hurt you.

I was going to say the same... But wasn't sure if the image was the same or different angle or similar.

Spider in flowers in panel three, also spelled in the flowers’ swirls! Haha

Hehe capitalism

At the first sight at the "bonus panel" I though I've seen the hero wearing the Apple Vision Pro. Wouldn't it be funnier If he bought all those things for a virtual GF?

There's a seasonal premium, but those too are for sale on an hourly basis.

[–] Bonehead@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

And you don't even need to buy the flowers or chocolates. I'm sure it would be appreciated, but it's not required.

I generally like your work, and the punchline without the bonus panel works well (and I agree that seeing the rose guy again is a nice touch), but framing women as a commodity for men to purchase (E: in the bonus panel) is unnecessary misogynistic bullshit.

This could have been the same comic but with a woman. It wouldn't change a thing, you're interpreting things into it yourself.

[–] wandermind@sopuli.xyz 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The joke in the bonus panel only works because women very clearly are not a commodity for sale unlike the other items on the list. That's what makes the bonus panel an absurd twist, that there would be such a thing as a "girlfriend store".

As in, if the final item on the list was "get jewelry", and the then the bonus panel showed a closed jewelry store, there'd be nothing funny about that.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, it doesn't make sense

What jewelry store would be closed on valentine though

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago

If perhaps it was a brothel or something seedy I'd feel like you. I just saw the girlfriend store and thought the joke only works because it doesn't exist and was a silly concept. Especially given that Valentine's Day would be for your partner and not that you'd need to purchase one like you do the other items.

I could be wrong, but that's what I got from it.
