  • If they were physicists they’d hold the tip of the handle with a pinching gesture, then pull the hammer back to horizontal and let it drop. Swinging with a perfect arc it would thud into the pope’s head with just enough force to hurt anyone who was still alive, and get a response.

    However seeing as they’re still using a hammer to test for brain activity - we can assume the Catholic Church isn’t that friendly to science or something.

    It is now understood that you like big, young dicks (and NOT small boomer dicks). This is objectively a great set-up for the joke you’re absolutely about to make. I look forward to your objectively funny response.

    I hope to learn about the comedy and humor from you, as you’ve set up this joke or pratfall perfectly. I look forwards to reading the definitively funny thing you have to say in reply.

    Did you know there’s only one type of humor: yours (and it’s just for this particular mood you’re in right now) …and don’t let anyone tell you any different!

    If they do, you’ll at least know they’re wrong. It’s a huge mistake to think that what we laugh at or feel is funny, changes with mood, timing, approach, the people around us, or the kind of day/life we’ve had, or to think humor is subjective in any way.

    Humor is yes or no. It’s objective, it’s a science or maths style subject. People who don’t think so are just plain and demonstrably incorrect.





  • When referencing news media in this way, it’s important to actually include the name of the publication or source so that people can go verify it themselves. You’re not leaving them in a no mans land of uncertainty, unsure of what’s true or not, and not opening yourself up to accusations of dishonesty or spreading misinformation.

    In this case, and in others referencing print and written media, the name of the publication, title of the article, and the date it apprared would be included.

    So it would be by Steff Chavez, published in The Financial Times, on Jan 15 2025 (the title of the article is redundant information as it appears in the comic).

    Optionally a link people can visit might be handy:

    https://www.ft.com/content/973421a3-c96a-4038-96c6-725af5aa6124

    That way you’re showing people what the political reality is for certain, rather than leaving them in doubt or uncertain about what was actually published. But also, it keeps you honest too.
