Is the last panel a reference to The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka?
Okay, I’ve just discovered this comic and, although I love it, I’ve read about 10 comments by people who have to write something to prove they got the joke. Yes, you greasy cock, it is a reference to “Metamorphosis”.
Metamporphosis? I’m aussuming we’re talking about the novella? First published in 1915? By Franz Kafka? Born 3 July, 1883 in Prague to a middle-class Jewish family in Prague, Austria-Hungary (now Czech Republic)? His father, Hermann Kafka (1852–1931), was described as a “huge, selfish, overbearing businessman”[2] and by Kafka himself as “a true Kafka in strength, health, appetite, loudness of voice, eloquence, self-satisfaction, worldly dominance, endurance, presence of mind, [and] knowledge of human nature”.[3] Hermann was the fourth child of Jacob Kafka, a shochet, and came to Prague etc
thie above person was not saying ” I GET IT! I KNOW WHAT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE FROM!”
he asked.
I wheezed aloud while reading this. It’s like laughing but with more painful contraction around the diaphragm. Asthma, maybe? NO, IT IS THE HUMOR OF THE GIANT BUGGGGGG
if i can just say. does it matter what it does or does not reference? isn’t it just as (non)funny?
I have never laughed out loud at a comic before.
Thank you.
que?
For those of you who don’t realize I believe that the last panel is a reference to The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
is the second panel a reference to the bible where god drowns everyone
I think thats a good reason to wake up too.
You get a literary reference in the punchline of a comic? you must feel really smart.
everyone who got it felt at least a little smart, right?
what about bacon?
