This was a comic I originally intended to post everywhere, but after the pandemic caused mass layoffs, I figured it would be insensitive.
I'm ok making jokes using serious issues, but I don't want to make jokes ABOUT serious issues (unless I'm trying to make a specific point), I don't want to punch down, and I don't want to mock any real people who are experiencing something bad (there are exceptions to this, ie bad things happening to exploitative people).
I think this comic fits that criteria, but barely. I think it squeaks by only because it's very silly and is so removed from reality. But that's an opinion, so I could see people taking it a different way.
Long story short, I still want people to read it (even if I kinda have to ruin the magic with this overly long disclaimer). So enjoy!
