…Is this supposed to say something about society or something? I don’t get it
yeah i found this comic so opaque that i had to go look up the artist
it turns out that this is an explicitly christian comic where each strip is accompanied by a bible verse. the theme of this one is “love must hate evil” and it’s accompanied by Ezekiel 33:11, Proverbs 6:16-19 and Luke 13:3
it sort of explains why you get that weird feeling when you read it, because the point of the comic is not to be funny but to communicate some kind of moralistic lesson, and the straight-line clarity with which the comics do that is in direct conflict of the normal subversion of expectations that typically makes things funny
that said, basically all of the comics that deal with death are to me unintentionally hilarious because i do not share the worldview that dying and going to heaven is like, a net positive

all in all this was a kind of fun little excursion into something i would absolutely never have looked at otherwise. i’m gonna go ahead and just not try to look into what the artist thinks about gay people so that this can be a positive memory for me lol
I read this as a “this is why we do not tolerate intolerance” message.
Finding out that it’s a Christian comic is… ironic.
Let me see if I understand:
Blue and red vase don’t like each other and are about to fight
Red vase smashes blue vase, killing him. Man in the background sees.
Man is sad about red vase smashing blue vase, red vase doesn’t care.
Man tells red vase
he is trashif he keeps smashing other vases and being hateful, he’s going in the trash, red vase doesn’t care.Man tells red vase he loves him, red vase doesn’t care.
Red vase tells man he hates him and the blue vase.
Man smashes red vase.
Man puts red vase in the trash. In the background there’s a picture of red, blue, and yellow vase, and a big picture of red vase (going by shape).
Did I miss anything?
Man tells red vase he is trash, red vase doesn’t care.
I think it’s rather Man tells red vase that if it continues to smash other vases and doesn’t behave in a friendly way, it will go into the trash.
what is the meaning behind this
“love must hate evil” apparently
it wasn’t meant to be funny just some christian weirdo who makes simplistic comics
He had to wait for the red vase to double down?
What if red vase didn’t include “i also hate you” and just hated blue vase
Stoopido
Red vases are evil.
To be fair, we don’t have an example of what happens if the blue vase won the hammer fight. It might be blue vases are evil.
Crazy
