Its the narrative of a slapstick/sitcom basic humor

David walks in, cocaine powder on his nose
audience laughs

You can replace 'audience laughs' with the bdsm picture, only the bdsm is more about pure exaggeration. Like a child making a loud noise or those meme youtube videos screeching loudly to signify that the video is in fact funny.

correct. Thats because it is mostly 'lol random' But I think it's lol random leaning on the exaggeration of the emotions between beaver/deer.

In the sitcom analogy, after audience laughs, youll have a camera zoom in on all the faces - David is doing a 'Huh?' face, Mother is doing an 'Oh cmon' face, and Jefferey depends. So you take that anger of the mother/beaver on David/deer, exaggerate, add a dose of sex is funny so random lol and you ge tthat. I think that's the thought process.

My conclusion is that perhaps if we were more familiar with the rest of the comics, we would understand the context of the artist's humor style more. Maybe it's even some kind of callback or inside joke. On 4chan I mostly expect self-contained one-offs that are usually meant to trigger some group. But I guess the lack of internal coherence triggered me/us.

I think it's just bad. Its derivative at best, the only joke here is 'funny occasion happened'. Those moments are hilarious when they happen to you and your group of friends, but its pretty weak on its own.
Maybe its a recurring joke or maybe the beaver deserves having its own words thrown at it, but even if you read the whole comic it doesnt seem like a strong panel.

If it was a short video of a mother talking to her son then shed start throwing her sandals at the offending new comer id probably laugh a bit.

It was posted here as bait, though, with that I agree.

And also maybe replace the roles letting the deer being the dominant one. It's a double distraction because if it was suppoused to be 'the deer is so manly' then now we also need to understand 'the deer is so manly but also the skunk is a dom that likes manly subs'.

I think the best would just be sticking a 'animal blind dating sign' at the start - which the beaver saying ' wow you smell so nice ' is what suppoused to let you know that it's a dating thing but it falls a bit flat and then instead of cutting straight to bdsm having the skunk go to the deer and go 'so where are you from, big boy' as the last panel. now that i have the artists intention i get what he was going for

cringe, man or woman is an ideal existing in each one's man. You can be manly/womanly by both working to make yourself closer to the ideal or work to make yourself farther from the other ideal.

in each one's mind***
being manly is not doing wimpy stuff, but also doing manly stuff. it's not just avoidance.

as far as my own personal opinion on that goes, Transgenders have a problem where they reject the normal roles but then they dont know what to aspire to, so they seek a new role with power.

[Anonymous No.16111954]

>>16111934
also, even if transgenders compleltely reject roles and go 'as a hero might go' into whichever toilet they want at the moment, they still fall into the problem that society itself treats them as one of the roles. people on the street treat you as either man or woman, which feels to them as suffocating and limiting. A man who is free in his body can feel free to express womanly qualities (and maybe be called a wimp) but he still considers himself a man. What happens if you have no role to fall back to?
