Herb and Jamaal by Stephen Bentley for February 09, 2022

Now it’s cool to look poor and ragged.

The ragged look is a sham, just check the back of the legs – no rips. When I was young, the fringing went all the way up.

I’ve got a fortune in my dresser.

I’d like to return these. They wore out before I got home.

I buy $20 jeans and they end up looking like the jeans these people pay $80 for1

I don’t know what’s worse. This comic passing off this late 80s observation as new, or the sad sacks in the comments section who apparently just came out of a Blast from the Past fallout shelter. Y’all find out about cell phones yet?

When my students in high school wore them, I told them they were wearing “church jeans” because, yah know, they’re holey.

This joke is old enough to have kids who are old enough to wear ripped jeans as vintage irony
