You can't please everybody.

Also people are far more free with negative feedback than with positive.

It really just raises a lot of questions about what this woman hopes to accomplish.

Satisfaction for her customers, obviously. She just fails to consider the other elements in different situations.

Customers for what product or service, then? Is she a door-to-door plate presenter?

There's very little that's "obvious" about this one.

I'm pretty sure that's the joke.

Yeah, hence my bafflement at the response to my previous post. "It really just raises a lot of questions about what this woman hopes to accomplish" was an expression of appreciation for this sort of humor, so the last thing I expected was for someone to try to offer an "obvious" explanation.

No offense to Spindriver whatsoever though, it really doesn't matter and we're just looking at it different ways. Or maybe even your response was in jest. I don't know.

First time round, she appears to me to be selling some kind of meat dish. Adding sex to the sales pitch one time just makes someone say "Who needs the meat?" — so she subtracts the meat, leaving just the plate. Funnily enough, that doesn't appeal to many people (because she isn't have sex with them). So they complain.

So she's bollixed up her sales research by failing to consider context.

At least, that's how I read it.

Any input on bonus content in the book?

What a wonderful father, letting her make her own mistakes to learn and grow.

Okay, that might be my favourite strip in a while.

Joke? Why are you calling it a joke? You drew a picture of two dudes hugging and wrote "I love hugs!" on it.

Today's strip is two pages and nooooot exactly explicit.

Not very good, either, IMO. In the end I was expecting to find a third page that would finish the story with an additional punchline, but it just sort of stopped.

I guess it's just not a very Oglaf punchline, just "Oh, here's a silly situation occurring because of the idea being drawn to its logical extreme"

I think first page works well on its own.

I'd say the punchline is kinda ruined by the compound fracture. Had it been a regular break you could maybe suspend disbelief over just how badly she's been maimed.

I don't mind the exaggeration of the injury. This is Oglaf. There's always exaggeration.

Pirate Sex Ed should be safe, right?

New NSFW comic out! And now I wonder if there are people who complain about Oglaf's raunchiness.
