    Its just meant to be absurd, I notice a lot of Lemmings digging for a deeper meaning that isn’t there. If that image+caption doesn’t make you grin immediately Farside may just not be your thing.

      Honestly? Is it really “digging” to say this is related to the pandemic when a sneeze could kill other people.

        Yes, it absolutely is digging. This comic was released way before COVID-19 was a thing. The most recent pandemic was probably Spanish Flu, which was before his time.

          Ok, I read the title of the date meaning the release date.

          It really isn’t digging though, it’s a pretty obvious interpretation.

          It’s literally titled with today’s date.

          Digging would be to read the vertical copyright date of every cartoon, then looking at the cartoon.

          I just posted my instant reaction.
