I’m not sure I get it. Is there a joke in there somewhere? Please help me I think I have early onset Alzheimer’s.
Maybe they’re waiting for help (cause they hit the reef) and want to go snorkel while they wait
Well that’s just normal behavior. I don’t see the joke in that lol
Idk maybe it’s just a “hey think about this” comic and not a “here’s a joke” comic
Like, even so. I’m not one to usually miss the subtle nuances as long as I understand the context or whatever, but I’m honestly completely lost on this one. Completely stumped. I’ve got nothing from this.
Far Side comics* aren’t very deep. They make the most sense when you don’t think about them too much. Think of the dumbest, most surface-level punchline you can think of when you read one: that’s usually the joke.
(But yeah I never found them all that funny myself, either, and I grew up with them. They’re Boomer humor for sure.)
That’s been my impression as well; I also somewhat grew up with them. About one in ten or maybe slightly more would be funny funny. Rest are 😐
Comics*, sorry.
Oh lol, I didn’t even notice, even when quoting you 😆
They’re ignoring the fact that the boat could sink.
Oh, they aren’t aware of the hull breach? I thought they meant “waiting for help”.
Either way, I don’t see the funny. 😐
I feel like they’re going to murder the captain and make it look like an accident because he got them stuck there
A real knee-slapper. 😆
