    These nature crossings allow wildlife to move over large roads and highways without any danger. They also allow us to track populations based on the frequency of crossings. The only problem is animals gotta teach other animals about the crossing and until they do they won’t use it.

        The last line of their comment explains it: “The only problem is animals gotta teach other animals about the crossing and until they do they won’t use it.” The comic is showing a deer being confused by the crossing and another deer teaching

          I still don’t get it. Are we supposed to know that? And how is any part of that funny?

            A comic does not need to be funny, this one is informative and trying to show the world from the animals perspective.

              It’s so not informative? I don’t need comics to be funny to enjoy them. I just don’t understand it. Still.

                Best advice I can give is to read all the comments explaining, or do like me and accept that there are many reasons for some memes/jokes to pass us by.

            I’d assume the joke is that deers don’t usually teach using a whiteboard? I don’t think it’s that funny either but there’s not much to get, it’s just a cute drawing.

              Ah okay ye that part for sure but it seems that all the rest should be significant, or we could have a one panel comic and enjoy that

          I think its more that the deer discovers the crossing, and then explains it to others.
