    I don’t get it. I mean, yeah, I get what’s going on, I just don’t get what makes it funny, or what point it’s trying to make.

        Doesn’t even have to be public, I never outgrew the childhood reaction of disgust to people making out. Like, why do I want to see a closeup shot of people kissing on my 65” 4k TV, even if it’s supposedly romantic…

        There’s affection, and there’s… this. Some don’t know the concept of “getting a room”.

      I initially thought this was one of those things where someone takes an actual comic and changes the text to make a different narrative. But this inscrutable mess seems to be the original…

      Ah, also, it’s butt ugly. Sry to the cartoonist, who is probably very nice, but that plasticky, slick looking tablet screen linework is starting to get to me. It’s everywhere.

    I don’t mind PDA most of the time. It’s cute when two people are completely lost in each other. I appreciate it when people bother being discreet, but even when they don’t, it’s usually not that invasive when people express themselves just between the two of them.

    But then there’s the attention whores, playing it up for the crowds.

      Extreme mouth noises bother some people. Not that I’d ever call anyone out on a train over it, but the sound of loud wet kissing gives me the creepy-crawlies in the same way that hearing someone sloppily eating a particularly juicy apple does.

      Thank Bose for noise-cancelling earbuds.

    Is the small character at the end a recurring character of this comic?

        Weird to see the proliferation over the years of think-pieces on the lack of libido in mainstream film. They act like it’s evidence that America is dead from the waist down – as if people can’t just go watch sex whenever they want, without having to share the experience with an auditorium full of people. Depictions of sexuality have just become more private, that’s all.

          It’s not just about sex, it’s about lack of sexual tension or sensuality if you prefer to call it that. Zendaya and Tom Holland are actual couple but their on-screen chemistry as MJ and Peter Parker doesn’t hold a candle to Sam Raimi movies.

          Just one example among many.

        But old films still featured recognizable human bodies and human faces—bodies that could theoretically be achieved by a single person without the aid of a team of personal trainers, dieticians, private chefs, and chemists.

        Well, but when those bodies we not the absolute epitome of military fitness, would you believe them doing the feats that they do in the movies.
        Sure it’s not 100% believable even now, but it kinda feels more “fine” if someone with stone-like protruding abs and pecs, takes a pillar to the torso and gets pushed back 50ft instead of getting squished.
