    I had to read it three times, because I didn’t find it funny at all in any sense and I was trying to find a funny twist, but I didn’t succeed. It’s too real for me

      I didn’t laugh either. Though I think the contradiction of “life fucking sucked back then” followed by “life was fucking awesome back then” was supposed to be funny.

        Oooh, I think you’re right. I was so carried by the reality of all the statements that I missed that the 2nd and 4th panels feature statements which are diametrically opposite.

        Thanks!!!

        I’m still not laughing, but I get the twist and why it’s funny!

        Edit: fixed grammar

        Yeah, because if there’s one thing everyone knows about Extra Fabulous it’s that it’s perfect for syndication! Why, there’s only TWO instances of the world’s most versatile word in this one and literally no ejaculate!

        Kidding aside, it’s fine if you didn’t like the comic, but that was one of the worst takes I’ve seen in all of 2023 🤦😄
