Okay, that was a good one. "420th Smokage" made me laugh like an idiot. | ||||

The "Taco Problem" must be quite an interestingly fun restaurant, considering that I had tacos for a snack yesterday. | ||||

It took me about six attempts to parse the first speech bubble. Is "Taco Problem" based on a real life fast food chain?
Naruto vaping guy sounds cool, I wonder why things didn't work out. |

I assumed that it was a reference to Taco Bell but I do not know what, if any, meaning I am supposed to get from "Problem" in that context. |

Of course, that's also based on the idea that Taco Bell is the reference as well. |

It's taking me a while but I am starting to get your sense of humor (same probably for others) It is not as much set up punchline as it snarky vailed one liners. |

Oh, finally! I've spent years wondering why Americans insist on putting yellow cheese on tacos and why did no one tell you that you're ruining them! |

I'm assuming it's called Taco "Problem" because well....for obvious reasons. I hope one day soon we can witness a Naruto "smokage" cosplay. That would be amazing. |

I get the references. It's just that I have to strain my sense of humour really hard to find it funny. I guess this comic is essentially a reference-based gag comic, judging from the jokes so far... | ||||

Is The Lost Village Actually A Comedy?

Love it or hate it, the supernatural thriller The Lost Village held fans captive with a shocking (and often shockingly goofy) twist each week. But was it really a comedy all along? Nick Creamer makes the case.
― At last, The Lost Village has rambled to an end. Ostensibly a psychological horror piece about getting in touch with past trauma, the show ended up being a lot more and a lot less than that -...
Complex Age GN 1

7th Garden GN 1
manga
7th Garden's implied future story is more interesting than its surface plot, but this is still an intriguing science fiction/fantasy hybrid with some beautifully detailed art.
― There's sometimes a very fine line between fantasy and science fiction, especially when it comes to basing that designation on the setting. Mitsu Izumi (who wrote the AnoHana manga)'s 7th Garden flirts with this line more and...

― A woman who wants to quit her job, get married, and be a housewife? Oh no! Is this manga promoting outdated notions of a “woman's place?” That's the easy knee-jerk reaction to Izumi Miyazono's Everyone's Getting Ma...
