      So… Am I too high or not high enough to understand this comic?

        It’s that thing where you drop a sheet and duck behind a doorway/couch/whatever and whoever is watching (often a child or dog) is left to wonder where you went.

          And this is considered “funny”?

            I don’t think it’s funny but for some reason I still appreciate custardfist’s goofy style and the effort they put in

            I think the joke is okay and would have worked if I didn’t have to make sense of a number of confusions I had to work through first.

            • number being represented by “nr”. Nothing wrong here, just something that I’m not familiar with.
            • the use of “floop” to represent the sound of the list hitting the floor
            • the lines in the doorway representing, what I’m guessing are, stairs and not connected to the employee as I first considered
            • the disappearance of the desk from one panel to another
            • the path one manager in red took to get to the door from sitting at the desk

            I don’t know if anyone else has these problems to work through, but having had to work through them muted any enjoyment I would have gotten from the joke had that been absent.

              I think the lines in the doorway represent the list falling. It wouldn’t make a lot of sense for the manager’s office to be in the basement of a fast food place.

          TBH, I think Siegfried and Joy have elevated the trick to an art form. (Link is to a very short video example)

    I feel like them acting like dogs is a punchline without a setup. There’s nothing that links the comic to the dogs-freaking-out-when-someone-vanishes meme, so it just comes out of left field without landing comedically.

    Imagine that this is a sketch people are performing. Do you laugh when the guys start barking, or are you confused because they start barking for no reason when a guy was just quitting?

      See, this is exactly why I thought it was funny; came out of nowhere. But that’s what is great about humor - lots of different flavors for different types of people. You do need to know about the Internet “dog trick” to get it though.

      He lifted the list up like a blanket and disappeared like people do when they’re playing a trick on their pets

      I’m also assuming he sprayed “essence of dog potion” in there for them to react like that but that’s another thing
