I don't think I understand the last 3 panels. Is it intentionally vague, or is it a reference to something?
The three were left to die, being abandoned by their previous social group. However they banded together and formed a music band. On their way to the big city they found an abandoned house and wanted to shelter for the night. Inside however were thieves and bandits, celebrating their latest heist. So the band of musicians stacked on top of each other, entered the home and each let out their most horrifying scream. Utterly befuddled and scared shitless of such an unknown three-headed creature, the bandits fled.
Now after having rested, the band of musicians is on their merry way towards the big city to earn their claim to fame.
Everything seems fine. However... Unbeknownst to them, they are now on the hitlist of one of the most dangerous mafia organisations of Bremen.
This just sounds like a dnd campaign
the dnd campaigns of old
My interpretation is that those animals are engaged in some very kinky inter-species sexy time, and the narrator is shaming them for watching.
The ambiguity completely kills whatever this might've been.
The only good joke is a fully explained joke!
I love that you're likely getting upvotes from people who are taking you literally.
The animals are doing a cute thing and given the context of the previous panels, that means something bad. The TV narrator gave the viewers some time to marinate in their suspicion before confirming (via disappointed nodding) that they should not find the bird sitting on a frog cute, but sad. The whole comic is a reference to nature documentaries. Where the events depicted in them are usually tragic despite the animals potentially being cute/endearing
Hm I guess I did get it, but was wondering if there's an actual, tragic circumstance that causes birds, frogs, and turtles to pile up lol. Thank you for the in depth explanation!
I don't think any of the behaviors shown are real.
But the first two seem plausible!
Agreed
