irony is a defining feature of postmodernity

THAT RAVEN IS NOT TINY. IT IS A STANDARD-SIZED RAVEN.
CONSIDER ME OFFENDED.

I think it has to do with pattern recognition. people here recognize how quaint and "lol so randum" this comic is right from the first panel, so when they get to the last panel none of their expectations are violated

>>26297912
irony can be funny when done right

read delillo or nabokov

its a tiny oak tree so maybe your sense of perception is fooling you

It's surrealist humour
The shanking and ebonics used at the end seem out of place with the rest of the comic, which is presented in the style of a children's story book
The violent act of shanking is also something that is not usually associated with "cute" things like tiny hippo, also tying into the surrealist humour this comic is trying to convey
The violent act itself is also like to cause laughter or some similar reaction as it is quite unexpected from the "cute" tiny hippo character
Laughter is a common reaction humans have when something they weren't expecting happens that isn't a threat

you're a piece of shit, if you don't have anything nice to say then just go fuck yourself

>>26297965
saying it's that set of concepts is kind of off the mark, in reality it's massively derivative OF those general concepts

the concepts done well can be funny. unexpected informality in a formal situation can be funny. disproportionate and unexpected violence in a quaint situation can be funny.

this comic, of which ten billion variations exist, all drawn by talentless pointless fucking hipster niggers with full knowledge of and okayness with being derivative pieces of shit, is not funny.

of course, tell them this, and you're just a meanie. everything is good! even semi-intentional schlocky shit! yaaaay tumblr!
