Look, Nintendo is bullshit, bullying innocent creators for stupid, paranoid reasons… but c’mon. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

No worries, it’s been a rough week.

Bacon is the title of the daily comic strip this panel comes from. The joke is that the cactus on the left has its “arms” (branches?) point up, as most cacti do, and is looking at the cactus on the right with its arms down, and that cactus on the right is explaining that, as a cactus, it doesn’t really have any other way to show how it feels.

I don’t think you’re missing anything, it’s not super-duper funny – just a little silly 😊 .

I can assure you its use is innocent, here.

But after looking up I can understand your concern. It seems to be one of those otherwise innocuous phrases that’s been co-opted by miscreants.

Aww! 🐔 💕

“I am watching my friend play a game that I like. She is playing it for the first time!”

I love dogs. Hearts of gold. Heads of stone.

NGL, I’ve read some stories with unreliable narrators that turned out to be a huge waste of time in the end, too.

Yeah, put on a helmet for heaven’s sake!

Not the end of the world, but probably not the kind of “quality time with the kids” most parents hope for! 😝

I miss Mitch 😢

that’s how furry stuff was invented

*ahem*

She’s taking a break.

“They should have sent a poet.”

Raisin boxes are fun though!

Sauce?

“Blah, now it is time to stalk the night for blood! Except Mittens is sleeping in my lap and I am trapped here!”
