Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

This would have been funnier without the last two panels. Leaving the conclusion to imagination is usually better.
Then the author wouldn't have had the chance to make a point. The point being about not fitting in and being laughed at by the majority. It's not just being uncomfortable for not fitting in. It's about being actively mocked for not fitting in.
I’m talking about comedy, you’re talking about making a point. Why did you change the subject?
FWIW, I agree with you, partly because the last panel is uncomfortable to look at the anxiety of getting ragged in the public and also because recirculates the stereotype that "X for Humanities" courses are somehow inferior.
