Not sure I get this one.
The artist has had a string of comics where the joke is pretty much just harassment. It worked out here because of the absurdity:
But mostly it’s just been haha harassment:
So this is an iteration on that joke, where the humor is that it’s the girl doing the harassment because it inverts expectations or something. TBH I think this artist is the weakest of the C&H artists and one of the reasons I’ve thought about switching to posting old comics randomly from across all the history instead of sequentially.
It’s definitely a… taste. I’m not sure if it’s acquired, or just quirky.
They’re relatively new to the team, though, right? I’ve been cutting them slack because I thought C&H was bringing in fresh blood, and maybe they’re just finding their pace. C&H has always been controversial-humor-friendly; Depressing Week is a good example: humor that could land very wrong with some in the audience who’ve recently experienced loss or trauma.
It reminds me of South Park, where almost no topic is off the table as a target for mockery. It’s a reason why I like it, despite finding a fair amount of the content unfunny.
I thought these were hilarious way back when I was an edgy teenager. Some of them have definitely not aged well. The comic has certainly matured a little over the years
I’ve been following-ish C&H for years; I just didn’t recognize this style.
The comic is from 2005. No, they are not new to the team.
Oh well. There goes that theory.
Ah, ok, I don’t read the comic regularly enough to get some of the running jokes.
