What a tool.

If you've ever used one of those compasses, you'll know that you can open the compass wide or hold it at a specific angle and you'll be able to use the pencil like a normal pencil. It's just a little more awkward than a normal pencil since the sharp pointy end is loose.

So really this comic is about a person who blames other people for their own failures.

So that's how you loose your eye. Good thing you only have yourself to blame, I guess? /s

Usually you use small pencils for it, which aren’t good for regular use.
