Absolutely. But it felt like I was having a stroke or something. I know a thing or two about comedy, but even a bad joke or a joke that I subjectively don’t find funny still registers as a joke. This strip has the cadence of a joke but without any actual joke happening. It’s like an AI-written comic strip. Any punchline would’ve made as much sense if not more. Better ones would’ve addressed the snail or the cat or the dog or some behavioral difference. Maybe the best one I can come up with off the top of my head is “People think that this is less strange than when he was walking a dog?” That at least has some commentary on the expectations of a relationship between cats and dogs, and that a cat taking a dog for a walk would be really strange, but at least some people walk dogs; nobody walks a snail. There’s an implication that people were upset before and now they’re not.

Here though? Nothing. He just felt like drawing a cat taking a snail for a walk, I guess?
