I just want to say that I love Devils Panties. I love that it is like half the time political and half the time not. I don’t really know why, I just like that every day you don’t know quite what to expect, but it is pretty consistently good.
I find it consistently bland but I’ll give it its own identifiable style.
It’s like an autobiographical Calvin & Hobbes (meant as a compliment)
…I don’t get it.
It’s a version of the old (and, no longer accurate) joke: a mom knows her child’s favorite foods, who their best friends and when their birthdays are, the names of their teachers, and their favorite crayon color. The farther knows some short people are living in the house.
Why is it no longer accurate? Maybe you meant to way it is not generally true, but it is certainly accurate as a description for my own family.
Gender stereotypes. I can’t speak for the 50’s, but all of the young parents, regardless of sex, that I’ve personally known in the past 15 years have been hyper-involved in their kid’s lives.
I interpreted more as: (autistic?) men rarely make eye contact.
He is very unobservant.
I didn’t have the impression that he is generally, I figured this was more a case of what you grow up with is normal - to the point that he didn’t even pick up on it!
The joke is that I have oversimplified the context.
…I am very unobservant. (Especially early in the morning!)
Lololol all good, my friend.
Yeah I read it that way too. Like his kid is perfect just the way they are… and his mom is perfect just the way she is too.
His eyes are lazy?
They’re doing their best
Just slice of married-family life.
Things like this occur and are relatable, or so I’ve been told.
I was 28 before my mom told me I’ve had a lazy eye since I was a teen.
So, making fun of “lazy eye”, and an unobservant person? What a piece of shit comic. Fucking blocked.
Sounds like a case of “lazy writer”.
Sir this isn’t reddit

Lol what? What part of that comic was mAkInG fUn Of LaZy EyEs? The part where a parent showed concern for their child? The part where they mentioned that it runs in their partner’s family? Get a grip.
Making fun of unobservant people is ok in my book, but I’m also fairly unobservant.
Yep, I’m also fairly unobservant, and I think this comic is just accurately portraying people like me in a humorous way. There’s nothing wrong with making fun of people’s weaknesses as long as you’re not being mean about it.
Hey look it’s a Lemmy user
