This artist’s own art becomes relevant in self reference:
I think he used this one in multiple variations. But I love that one too. Pretty much a good meme material. 😁
The original was Goku and Spiderman making love, if I’m not mistaken
New fear unlocked: What if babies are only born as babies because the people delivering them expect to be delivering a baby?
Someone with sufficiently strong will (or magic) or who has been completely convinced otherwise could change the outcome. Like this.
… wait. Maybe it only applies to placentas. Let’s hope it’s only placentas.
You mean… Shrödinger’s baby?!
I can’t remember any details on this, so I’m probably going to butcher it, but I once heard a comedian talk about this. Roughly, he said:
I love it when couples say “we’re expecting.” Like “we’re expecting a baby… But it could be an orangutan!”
That sounds like Garfunkle and Oates.
Possible, but I don’t think I ever watched or listened to their material. I was thinking John Mulaney or Mike Birbiglia but couldn’t find a clip of either of them saying it after a brief search.
Gives me strong Mulaney vibes. I know I’ve heard it before.
Jim Gaffigan maybe?
Nah, he likes babies too much
He had a whole bit that included babies being skinned for wallets by a cold laser bath machine but okay.
That’s Bene Gesserit 101.
I can’t guarantee the authenticity but a friend of a friend’s wife ended up pregnant. She very clearly wanted to be a mother more than anything.
She ended up kind of having a miscarriage because the placenta was just straight up empty. Like her brain just convinced her body that she was pregnant and began the process.
Silliness aside, phantom pregnancies are a thing, but you generally don’t get a placenta without something else besides. If there didn’t seem to be anything, it was probably so non-viable that it dissolved or was reabsorbed, kicking off the rejection process.
Most don’t even get to that stage though. Super early miscarriages are said to happen incredibly often and the carrier doesn’t necessarily even know that they’d conceived in the first place. A big hint is a delayed, heavy period, but most people who get periods won’t bat an eye at things like that happening. That’ll happen for a number of - occasionally hard to explain - reasons even without being sexually active.
Did that take nine months to arrive? She better get her money back
Placentzza.
So, uh, fun fact, “placenta” is just the Latin word for “cake”.
So the word you’re looking for is “calzone”.ಠ_ಠ
Pizzenta

I like c/comicstrips but I wish there was a way to exclude certain artists whose sense of humour is incompatible with mine.
I never want to see this artist nor cyanide and happiness ever again, if I can help it.
Maybe this community can start putting the artist/source in the post title. Unless that becomes a rule I doubt that would happen though.
What don’t you like about C&H?
It’s a comedy strip, and humour is extremely subjective. What works for one person won’t work for someone else.
I see it as intentionally being a “bad taste” comic by design, and as someone who never enjoyed Happy Tree Friends or other franchises which use violence, sex or toilet humour as cornerstones, it’s already on an uphill battle as far as my tastes are concerned.
Of course, dark humour and “bad taste” have been important parts of human comedy since forever, and I don’t mind them when it serves a purpose. But Cyanide and Happiness seems to exist purely on bad taste, as if bad taste is entertaining in it’s own right.
To me it feels completely insubstantial, and so for me it’s a pass.
That’s fair. I keep their website bookmarked but sometimes I wonder why I bother to check it at all. I think my sense of humor was a bit simpler 10 years ago.
C&H had some hits years ago but yeah it does seem like they have to keep jumping the shark to stay relevant and it’s a miss so so so often.
That said I’d take 10 bad C&H over another bluejayoo
The real problem with Cyanide and Happiness is that it’s just a shadow of Rob DenBleyker’s former greatness… Joe Zombie!
A community rule to tag the artist in the title would make it possible to filter by keyword. Seems like a pretty reasonable rule to put in place, imo, if only for attribution purposes even.
It’s a pitty. I love Extrafabulous comics. And I was thinking people would like it here. Even so his humour could be kinda weird. 😇
I’m sure lots of people here do and will like it - just not me! :)
You should keep posting it, obviously.
…I love it and think your OP has an extremely long stick up his butt lol
I would like to make a rule so op here only gets cyanide and happiness and oop’s comics on Lemmy ever
Was that last frame her burning the roof of her mouth because it was so hot?
