I'm... I'm really conflicted.

It feels like there's ~~:.|:;~~ here, but I can't put my finger on it... has... has the internet conditioned me to look for Loss in every four panel comic?

When people can't tell if it's a hand or a lollipop, it's time to add more detail....

Yes seriously, this cartoon required a lot of analysis

Not being able to distinguish between the primary items *featured is "analysis"?

My comment was in agreement with your comment. Now you want to argue about it?

I'm kinda curious. Did the Simpsons invent 'yoink' or did it exist before 1988?

the word “yoink,” a coinage of Meyer’s, which characters sometimes utter in the act of snatching something

That implies invention by Meyer, doesn't it?

Nice! Thank you that's awesome
