    The same situation can have many punchlines. Might as well dislike every joke that starts with “a guy walks into a bar”

      I mean, yeah?

      EDIT: I want to elaborate b/c the situation is intentionally drawn to be generic so that it can use any text.

      Think about this comic, what about the art would lead you to believe it has anything at all to do with oil? Nothing, but it fits just as well as just about anything else b/c it was designed specifically to be generic trash. That’s like my whole point, man.

      Also, yeah, “guy walks into a bar” jokes are ass. Puns, too. I’m on the fence about puppies.
