I don't know why but the "fwip!" on pulling out the gun and then the carjacker's shocked look are sending me today!

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The carjacker's shocked because he no longer has his gun.

Took me a bit to get that. I thought he was having a heart attack or something in that second to last panel.

Tbh I didn't consider that he wasn't having a heart attack until your reply

The old comic trick of having a dotted outline to represent something that a character is noticing is missing would have been better.

Firm agree. Still great comic

I can't be sure, but that was likely in response to "sending me".

For sure, I was just trying to make a little joke about the willful misunderstanding.

I thought he got shot and now I realize he is noticing he lost his gun.
