That’s way better! There should probably be 2 angry green ones in the last panel because it still could be construed as one parent turning rainbow.
That’s another stupid thing about this strip, chameleons choose their colours so can change colours at their whim. That’s where the inherent misunderstanding comes from.
Good one though.
Not even shitting you, I know a guy named Harry Palm.
The girlfriend’s name? Palmala Fingers

I find this confusing. I looked for a long time before I got it. The protagonists switch directions and I wasn’t sure who was who. I thought one of the parents turned rainbow and some new guy started yelling at them from out of frame. I think the parents should stay the same direction and the new guy should enter from stage left. And the pointing arm should come from stage right so we know it’s the parents.
Ya, I was thinking about it after I wrote it and it doesn’t make any sense. The compressor is empty when you start so there’s no load, and it gradually increases. The regulator is never going to get dicked around with ever again, so what’s the point? Maybe to let moisture out? Metal shavings? Sounds like dumb instructions that everyone will ignore. Maybe it’s a way to void the warrenty? “Sorry to hear your brand new compressor shit the bed, did you remember to fuck around with the regulator on startup? No? Sorry, we can’t help you”
This probably good advice, it decreases the load on the motor as it starts up. Fancy brushless motors have a soft start where the motor controls its spin up so there’s no shock to the system. I’ve had many compressors and have never done that once, ever. Maybe they just mean the first time you ever fill it.
It’s good advice though. My mom told me only have one baby at a time. Meaning don’t have 2 in diapers at the same time.
My neighbor with a billion kids once said to my wife “God opens and closes the womb”
You make some interesting points, but I choose to believe a random screen shot.
Raisins are also nuts, because they are frequently packaged with peanuts.
Welcome to lemmy. Crossposts as far as the eye can see.
Big Lube keeping the poor wo/man down.
Or spit on it first at the very least.
Don’t forget Trump has made oil way more expensive. That’s a huge favor to the world and the things that live on it!
My neighbor said “I see you walking around with your daughter. And your grandkids.” my wife really liked that. Fuck that guy.
I get what you’re getting at, but I’d argue that we should look holistically at spacex. If their business model is launching a bazillion satellites and making a bazillion dollars we have to look at the entire launch complex as operating capital of starlink and spaceai. It all depends on starship launching a bazillion times a day so we should include development costs of starship as costs of starlink. The need for these businesses are necessary because the boom in private bookings of rocket launches that was anticipated with cheap launch services hasn’t materialized and so they have an airport and planes without passengers.
I ain’t no rocket economist but it seems “all the money” that starlink makes arent enough.
Just before everyone claps.
It’s a shame art is interpreted by individuals. The comic strip format demands the content to be very clear to allow the message to show through. This strip makes me think about what the hell is going on and so the message gets sidelined.
Also, chameleons choose their colours and can be any colour at any moment. That seriously dilutes the message for me because any of the characters could be any chameleon. Going from two chameleons on a branch, adding a new one and then seeing only one on the original branch makes me think one parent went rainbow, because chameleons change fucking colours
Sorry my interpretation made you mad. Get fucked I guess.
