It truly is a curse. The poor librarian is probably surrounded by this all day.

If it’s like the US in that era, students were expected to stand to answer questions. (and it looks like the smart dude is whispering the answer to her)

Yeah, it’s biblical.

The abbreviated story is that two women were both claiming a baby as theirs, and King Solomon had to make a judgement. He suggested the only fair way was to split the baby in two, knowing the real mom would give up her claim to prevent that from happening. One woman said split it, the real mom retracted her claim, and Solomon gave the baby to the real mom.

The joke here is that they split an atom instead of a baby.

Some would probably call stuff like that “woke”, but maybe “performative” or “pandering” would be slightly less politically charged.

This type of stuff is immediately what I thought of too. They will happily sell both sides’ identity and values right back to them.

Lol, I’m very curious to know why someone would buy a shirt that says “Corporate Greed”

It’s making a joke about how we relate everything to our previous experience, no matter how limited. Basically this meme:

Or, another example might be how every game gets described as “like dark souls”

Look at that good girl

Now that you mention it, the fact that men didn’t end up being the gender to wear high heels and suits with shoulder pads is a mystery.

I can see that too, however it just hits the ear weird to me. Like, it’s literally accurate, but I don’t know that I would ever phrase it that way over “sports idol”. Maybe I’m overthinking it though.

She varnished the wood floor, then slipped because of how slick it was, so her solution was to dirty it up again for traction.

I’m happy to keep posting these until I run out or people get tired of them.

Lol, damn it.

Rastafari was originally a Jamaican take on biblical teachings and spirituality, but it evolved into more of a cultural thing, then blew up in popularity because of Bob Marley (mostly).

You’d find Rastafarian stuff at most hippie or beach shops in the 90s and 2000s, then it sort of disappeared from the zeitgeist after people started stressing about cultural appropriation in the 2010s (hence the guy in the comic who thinks it’s problematic).

Thanks! How about now? I changed it to “Jucika wakes them up” so that it sounds a little more natural in English.

Thanks, I’ll keep em coming!

Those little guys are so familiar!
