The joke here is great, but what is really striking to me is how the artist, even with their simple drawing style, perfectly captured the affect of each person pictured. The clerk with a bit of anxiety delivering bad news yet with detached indifference, the other mechanic thinking “goddamit, another one of these. I don’t get paid enough…”, and the patron just
exacerbatedexasperated by the whole thing and having to once again make a bad choice from a menu of worse choices.I always thought it took much more artistic talent/effort to communicate these feelings, but this comic is an eye opener for me for how simple it is drawn, but how effective in communicating.
Good observations, but don’t mistake simplicity for a lack of talent or effort. Minimal styles take a lot of effort to get right. You may only see one line for a mouth for example, but it may have been redrawn several times to get it just right. That takes both talent and effort.

I’m saying the opposite. Or rather, the talent in expressing the ideas doesn’t require a photorealistic drawing talent. I’m recognizing the talent for communicating these human emotions is separate, but not less amazing. This artist has this incredible talent!
I remember this every time I try to draw a damn mouth. It’s so distressing for me.
Getting those fingers right alone requires a lot of skill
Also they gave big tiddies to the snake for the furry crowd
I, uh, I think those are the tires of the car it ate.
Art is interpretive, it could be both
Tire, tit, halfway identical
Scalie crowd.
Don’t forget about the huge balls it has as well.

Corrected, thank you. Aging eyes and lack of proofreading on my part are to blame.
Well get started.
Get started with what?
With your web comic
Are you being intentionally evasive, or is that just your “thing”?
Car mechanics always inventing new problems when there are none smh my head
Shaking my head (my head)
While typing in my PIN number.
the guy at the dealership said it was genuine snake leather
Before reading the anaconda bit, i saw the lizardy thing, and thought this was going to be about having to turn a dinosaur into oil first.
I feel the car owner so hard… 😭
A little graphic for my taste, but you do you horny mouse
*bonk!*
$10 says they’re making it out to be a bigger deal than it is. Just find a video on YouTube and DIY it.
Oh thank you! I thought i was the only cheap fuck who tells them no all the time…
