This just a lovely comic, so have a double up vote.

O no, this is amazing, I've done something similar but far less cute and funny in the past:

Whoa those illustrations are awesome 👍 Keep up the good work!

This is so lovely! I can't read everything the dwarf planets say unfortunately but it is cute nevertheless.

I laughed at Neptune being so happy about having the strongest winds. Truly a gassy planet.

Gonna have to disagree with you about far less cute, that's adorable.

Awww, thank you! But I love the interaction in the above one so much.

He said of this: "saddest thing I've drawn"

This goes right to the top with Liebot

I don't get it

The little girl is getting kicked out by her parents because she "will never be pretty", which is all a girl is worth according to misogynist belief.

The punchline is the setup. It's an anti joke. Perhaps a bad one, even. Quite rare in this joke landscape, I can see why it needs to be preserved

Yeah ok I mean that's literally what's happening. But is there a joke? Or something unexpected, insightful, thoughtful, humorous, something special or of any significance other than a random statement? What's sad about it? Why a robot? Why a liebot? Is he lying?

Tbh I still don't really get it.

It would probably help to read more of the comics since it's a recurring character.

I see. Thanks

Thank you, my thoughts exactly. Tragic is not exactly the same thing as sad.

Tbh, I feel like calling this "sad" doesn't do a good enough job of refuting the underlying misogynist belief (that a woman's worth is her looks) that the parents have.

Liebot was this vaguely racist Slavic stereotype character that tried to make Phillip (the otter) cry on occasion. This is probably the tamest one.

Mom is about to explode

just for the record, we started with Venus, but they kept breaking them, so we switched to Mars.

Venus is toxic AF.

She courted briefly with the Soviets if I recall, but even they couldn't tame her hot heart with a cool island song

She's hot, but there's just too much pressure to make it work.

it's a caustic relationship.

Never put your dick in clouds of sulfuric acid.

But.... I really think I can fix her with a little terraforming.

Why doesn't Jupiter, the largest planet, not simply eat the others?

I think that's his eventual plan, depending how much of his fluff is real bluster

I love how the moon is just super happy for everyone involved.

You got those eagle eyes.

Not the first time I've been told that, actually!

This was genuinely fun!

Aww... They're so sweet.

Is there a good place to see more without logging into something? I found some on threads, but it requires login after a bit; not interested in FB/X. Maybe time to buy a book!
