    Either she’s his girlfriend and he’s just a complete asshole, or she’s his girlfriend and he’s being a sarcastic jackass(this is the only “good” scenario), or she’s a clingy type who calls herself his girlfriend even though he’s not into her at all and he’s either set boundaries she ignores or he just doesn’t really care if she invades his space like that.

    No matter what, this comic sucks.

    I have coworkers who hug on success. They’ll look over at my desk and do little air pats.

    Honestly the the first time had people respect that. 🙏

        That was how I read it at first too, but she at least implies that she is his “quirky girlfriend” depending on how you interpret it.

        I think the implication is that she is his girlfriend and he just wants to break up.

        Which is a bit weird, because look at that t-shirt. She’s clearly marriage material.

          Time and place, my guy. One, you didn’t mark this as NSFW, and two this isn’t a NSFW community.

            NSFW tags are only available for posts, not comments. He did use the spoiler tag and mentioned that it contains NSFW content. But as some said, some clients don’t interpret them correctly which isn’t really his fault (one would assume that to work consistently…)

              1. TIL you cannot NSFW tag a comment. Thank you.
              2. No not originally he didn’t, when I replied there was nothing but the image itself. Spoiler tags work on my client but this wasn’t spoilered.

              Bad joke in the wrong place. It’s clearly stated in the community that NSFW content like that is prohibited. That allows people to expect not to randomly run into porn when they don’t want to. Yet here you are shoving porn into people faces against their will. “Other people like it” is not an excuse for selfishness like this.

              You say “sry” but you still don’t remove your comment and the fact you don’t even bother to spell out the word belies that sentiment. I hope you see how bafflingly rude you’ve been here.

                Because no one thinks someone is gonna take a stupid Image this seriously. I’m really sorry I broke the rules I didn’t bother to read, but I’m honestly not sorry you’re pissed. You can do as your username suggests. chill lol. Imagine getting yourself worked over the rules of an internet community.

                  You’re missing the point. I’m not chastising you because of the rule alone.

                  I already said this before:

                  That allows people to expect not to randomly run into porn

                  Do you think everyone is okay with just having porn on their phone out in public?

      Imagine how it would be if some random secretary in your workplace would do as she did. Imagine the same with opposite sexes.

      I think the depressing part is to see the own expectations and how these comics are feeding them. He has the right to not like the person and she has no right to touch him without his permission

        Why did you assume the female is a secretary? That’s not a common title anymore.

        Why do you think people are hugging each other at work? We’re not.

    This is a much better looking style than Adam Ellis’s old buzzfeed art style but I don’t know if the joke lands any better.

      Best I can do is internet high five. I smacked my hand on the phone screen. You do the same.

      Edit: I’m slapping the shit out of my phone screen. There are more than enough high fives to go around for all of you. Do NOT put any other part of your body to your phone screen as I ONLY consent to virtual high five and no other virtual hand activity.
