Apparently slut shaming is still a thing in the current year of our Lord.

Not certain it’s slut shaming so much as addressing lying. She told him 3 guys, when the mountain of stolen sweaters, and her profuse sweating implies it was more than three. I don’t care about body count and I’m uncertain if the author does, but this joke is still funny if you don’t care about body count.

Except for the little thing that the slut shaming was done earlier. When he asked her what her body count was. That’s when the slut shaming happened and she avoided the repression by lying.

Or maybe I just don’t get the joke. PS: Maybe she’s a shoplifter?

That’s not slut shaming. If he reacted negatively to her number(being too high) or stated something of similar effect. None of which is shown. Asking for information is slut shaming.

The character in the comic does not look neutral about the discrepancy in numbers. Would the comic work if the evidence was that they had slept with 0 other people?

Seems pretty cut and dry to me that the comic is piggy backing on the culture of slut shaming. It’s not the entire punchline, but it’s in there

The character is not neutral about the discrepancy in numbers because there’s a discrepancy in numbers. I’d be a bit bothered if my SO lied to me about things too, especially such a large discrepancy that its obvious they’re lying vs were accidentally wrong/forgot. “honey you said you bought 1 car, why are there 5 new cars in the driveway?” Of course they’ll be made about the discrepancy in number of cars because its not the agreed upon number. Tell me how you would make the joke with 0 other people slept with? It obviously isn’t cut and dry, most people are fine with the joke.

Right because it’s irresponsible to buy 5 cars. It’s not that 5 != 1 that’s the value judgement. Yes most people are fine with the joke. I wasn’t claiming they weren’t.

Apparently saying “of our lord” is still a thing in this blessed noodle year.

Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.

Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!

Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…
