This is profoundly sad omg
There, I fixed it.
I appreciate that he’s smiling for once in this version.

Mom’s lookin’ foine in the last panel
She stopped stress-eating when the kid streightened up
The kid dreamed of his mom being hotter and it was not considered a bad dream. Now he studies law to find in which state the rest of the story can happen legally.
Being a lawyer sounds like a bad dream to me.
Earn a lot of money and then work all the time so you can earn money
Defend what matters to you and be poor, or defend where money is and be rich and meaningless.
I was so lost until I figured out that isn’t her husband in the last panel. I thought he murdered their son.
For anybody who still doesn’t get it:
She put the dreamcatcher over her son’s bed and then his dreams of becoming a famous rockstar died. The guitar is in the trash and he is studying law.
I would have figured this comic out so much faster if I had noticed the guitar in the trash.
got rid of a bad dream, replaced it with an even worse dream.
Law and finance are the fuel to my nightmares.
KOCK
This same shit comic keeps floating back up the s-bend. Crappy conservative messaging where accounting is valued higher than art.
A) That’s not “conservative” messaging
B) It’s a joke
I generally like Perry Bible Fellowship comics but this one seems like it’s either pandering to or coping with conservative messaging.

https://pbfcomics.com/comics/preserves/ incels again (and this one isn’t even remotely funny, the greatest crime)
I’m starting to think this artist is a cryptofascist. Basically equivalent to rock throw
Who does this one pander to?
Asking for a friend
It is a message that there is no smoke without fire. The “intellectual” (note the glasses) has a seemingly convincing argument, but is shown to be a fool. The suspicion of sinful, non-procreational sex (notice the falling leaves, which do not play a reproductive role in trees) turns out to be true.
This belief in smoke without fire feeds into the conservative tenets of anti-intellectualism, the tendency to assume guilt based on prejudice and fuels paranoid conspiracy theories. It is also a meta-dog whistle confirming that yes, those other dog whistles the comic uses are really what you think and not just coincidental.
Remember: on the internet, nobody can hear your tone of voice. If you want your dry jokes to land, you’ll likely need to use “/s” to show that you were being sarcastic, otherwise people might think you’re being serious about such an obviously absurd, irrational stance, because there really are people who would believe the things you joked about.
Is this one pandering to Christians?

Thank you for the links though. I’ve spent hours going through these comics. I didn’t even know I could like comics this much.
you may have heard the phrase “god works in mysterious ways”. This is clearly one case of such. Clouds do not normally behave like this, it’s closer to what you might think of smoke. And where do we see white smoke? That’s right. When the Papal conclave has come to a decision for the new Pope.
Pandering to Catholics. QED
:p
You’re too much. :)
for the love of–
they are sheep. how much more heavy handed is it possible to make a metaphor
You don’t seem very fun.
These are hilarious lmao. You’re insane if you think the punchline of “the stick figure falls and his body spells ‘OK’ after the other guy says ‘you’ll be ok’” is pandering to hypochondriacs, btw.
Can you and apparently 2/3 of the other readers of that comment (going by current votes) not detect obvious sarcasm?
Not as obvious as you though, apparently. Considering 2/3rds…
I guess it’s the point of sarcasm really, that not everyone will get it right away. I hate when people feel the need to do the “/s” though, it completely defeats the point.
Perry Bible Fellowship is kind of a shitpost? I mean, God makes out with a dude in the current most recent strip -https://pbfcomics.com/
…that was weird
The cosmogony in this comic is pretty close to what I believe, lol
Never seen a joke before, eh?
Idk. Not everyone has talent or the ability to gain the skill of the thing they wanna do.
Creativity is still king. But sometimes you need a day job, first
What a great joke.
So you study law to become an accountant? I figured you’d study law to become a lawyer, and study accounting to become an accountant.
I think the idea is that it’s a bad dream for him because he won’t make it as a musician
Hilarious. Champagne comedy.
I could interpret the comic as more of a precautionary fiction, since it’s also a pun about dreams.
This common misunderstanding of the purpose of life is addressed by Alan Watts in this short animation illustrated by Trey Parker and Matt Stone of South Park fame.
Mom hit a glow up between panels 1 and 3.

Can’t be. She’s not stuck under any furniture.
Well he doesn’t have broken arms so checkmate lib.
Oh yeah? Could be that he DOES have broken arms, but he can’t afford to go to a doctor so he toughs it out on cheap black market painkillers, leading to bones that never heal right and life-long crippling opioid addiction! Checkmate, capitalist!
Sheesh, I took that to a SUPER dark place for what started as a silly porn joke! 😂
Does he still bang his mom?
Probably 🤷
Ah yes, the dream to have less fun and be less fulfilled but make a lot of money. And then do… What exactly was the goal again?
Friendly reminder (for everyone) from someone in the field that the vast majority of people who study law do not end up making millions of dollars a year at top firms. If you’re just going into law to make money, there are much less expensive ways to do so.
