Pretty uncool to be making fun of people with a mental disorder.
The person depicted in this comic is clearly a hoarder and is clearly drawn to be visually reminiscent of a Neanderthal or another less evolved variant.
Hoarders need help and treatment, not made fun of.
...But I guess punching down is how people have fun.
Homie that's just the art style, look at how fucked up the professor dude looks. No one is saying hoarders are Neanderthals but you
If the people who need this kind of help see the comic and get upset maybe it will spur them to get the help.
It's far more likely to make them avoid comics in case they see another one like it and then withdraw further into their hobby.
Ah - my depression era grandparents never threw things away. One reason: they could re-use the object if it were durable enough. And they did.
By the '80s (maybe earlier?) they were complaining about the culture of trash. Their survival instincts were telling them to save and re-use. Their shiny new culture was telling them to throw that shit away.
I won't link it, but an image can be found easily. Right now I'm looking at a New Era Potato Chip canister that lives in my office. (It's weird - seriously, google it. "Feast Without Fear.") It's still good for storing things.
A modern example of an exception is Smart Water. The value in the product is almost entirely the lightweight, durable bottle with a common threading.
Hell yeah! The water itself tastes like shit imo, but that bottle is wonderful!
Due to inflation 10-20M is worth about 60 cents today.
That much ?
