*releases pack of dads into home depot* go……be free

invasive species encroach on lesbian territory

This is a common misconception because they’re such similar environments, but you should be aware that dads are native to Home Depot, while lesbians are actually native to Lowe’s. At this point, however, both dads and lesbians have made themselves at home in both Home Depot and Lowe’s to the point that trying to separate them back into their original ranges would probably do more harm than good to the delicate ecosystem of large chain hardware stores.

Okay we know political comics and “millennials and their Dang phones are dumb” comics are whack but what is this trying tell me?

I think it’s a reference to this old German novel about some guy who wakes up as a giant bug and his whole family starts to hate him or something but as for what lesson this comis is supposed to teach me, I’m not sure

Thank you for explaining the reference. I think the moral of the story is don’t turn into a cockroach because that would be an incredibly dumbass thing to do

The story is the Metamorphosis and is written by Franz Kafka, a jewish writer, his family was directly victim of concentration camps on WW2, all his sisters died on them, while his brothers died when they where mere kids.

He had a lot of issues with his parents, particulay his dad, who was a tyranic asshole, he was depressed, had low health and felt his family hated him, added to that was the fact that he could never get married because his girlfriends never lasted (for many diferent reasons each).

The Metamorphosis was one of many books he used to vent about how he felt like his family, particularly his dad, saw him as nothing but a failure and a parasite, like a cockroach that only took and never gave, THAT is also a take on capitalism and how it devaules the worth of humans into nothing but insects.

So, with that out of the way, what this comic is probably implying is that Gregor’s family see him as a parasite, but he is unaware because he doesn’t give a fuck about their views and just wants to go his way, they see him as a parasite but he doesn’t because he doesn’t mind, which I find is a pretty good comic but probably not for the reason the artist intended.

While is meant to be a take on “technology bad”, knowing the intentions of the original book shows us that is just a person that has learned that his family’s view on him should not affect him, and that he should not give a flying fuck about what they think of they finding them burdensome, since is not his fault being alive, and is not his fault having basic needs.

AND is also a jab at capitalism for trying to make someone’s worth out of how “useful” they are, he doesn’t care because he knows just being human makes him worthy enough of basic human rights and decency, and he doesn’t have to be exploided in order to show that.
