Clown performs on stage to enormous applause, but sees one guy in the center of the crowd who is morose.

Depressed Man: "Despite seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci, I am still as depressed as ever."

Great Clown: "Clowns aren't a medicalized form of treatment for depression. You should really see a doctor."

I really like that in the first panel the doctor is looking right at him and knows exactly who he is.

There was a time when the internet seemed to think bacon was the most le epic thing ever. Elon is unsuccessfully trying to be cool by using painfully out of date humor.

(altho back-bacon, yes... hoser)
