    This would have been funnier without the last two panels. Leaving the conclusion to imagination is usually better.

      I re-read it that way and I agree. The sudden realization that he was in a class for windshield wipers, attended by actual windshield wipers was quite funny and the point (not belonging) was still conveyed, IMO.

      Then the author wouldn’t have had the chance to make a point. The point being about not fitting in and being laughed at by the majority. It’s not just being uncomfortable for not fitting in. It’s about being actively mocked for not fitting in.

          I didn’t change the subject; I broadened it slightly. You were talking just about humor, I’m talking about all of the choices the author has to make. Both the humor and the point of the comic are under the same umbrella.

            To claim you’re broadening you’d have to have engaged with my point, not sidestepped it. You’re arguing in bad faith.

              You’re looking for a fight like a bad troll. “Bad faith argument”? The reply you got addresses your point but you don’t seem to understand the discussion.

              Dude, I wasn’t even arguing against your point. I was providing an alternative view in the same space: that of the author’s choices. I literally wasn’t even arguing. Chill out.
