That comic is stupid and Zach Weiner is a stupid man.

I remember when his comics were good, and before he started sucking the cock of science.

Also that comic make a lot of assumptions I would find disagreeable.

Such as, being small in relative size should make us sad.

Such as art is just a tool to distract people with pretty things.

Actually all of his reactions were contrived.

Define "meaning".

Since I am sapient, don't I decide what has meaning and what doesn't? If logic and necessity construe to make something meaningful to me and the reasoning behind it is valid, then is it not implicitly meaningful?

If youve got humor down to a science, I think you arent going to be very funny.

Besides I dont think the joke was about art being just pretty ideas. I think that was just something Zach Weiner couldnt prevent from leaking out of his stupid head.

Besides if generalizations were the key to humor, or if comedy were that simple then what would be the difference between just a generalization and a joke?

He's not trying to make a statement. He's not pushing a point of view. It's just humor.

The way it's phrased.

A little girl wrote to Sarah Palin asking, "How did the human race start?". Sarah Palin answered, "God made Adam and Eve, they had children and all mankind was made."

The next day the little girl wrote to michelle obama and asked the same question. Michelle obama answered, "Many years ago there were monkeys in africa from which the human race evolved."

The confused girl went to her father and asked, "How come Sarah Palin told me that mankind was created by God, and michelle obama told me mankind evolved from monkeys?"

Her father answeres, "Well, it's very simple . . . Sarah Palin told you about her ancestors, and michelle obama told you about hers!"

That's a joke.

"Black people are monkeys."

That's not.

The cartoon is reductionist to the point of stereotyping. The author stereotypes in order to understand and portray things simply but incorrectly. The author is simple minded and wrong. Discussion of topic is sage.
