Girl: Ok. Webcam is working. Girl: Who's the cute old guy behind you? Baldo: That's just my... Dad: Older brother who owns a Lamborghini.
I totally agree with fritzoid…
This particular comic strip is not advocating 15 year olds trying to have sexual relationships with 22 year olds. In light of what Fritzoid said, the main point and overall funny gag of this weeks strip is to show an average young male in his teens working towards a goal that is probably not likely to ever happen. It shows the hopeful aspirations of male teen in his early years of exploring the opposite sex. It’s supposed to be funny because he trying so hard to impress a girl fulfilling one of the typical aspects of most teen males partaking in their own love fantasies.
Lastly the large feet aren’t drawn because of Dave’s style. Dave draw’s plenty of regular sided feeton all sorts of characters. Yenny’s feet are part of her own strip’s gag. She aspires to be a runway model but is unable to because of the size her feet. Thereafter she goes through many humorous situations with friends, family and complete strangers taking small oddball jobs in pursuit of one day achieving her modeling dream.
