    I find this confusing. I looked for a long time before I got it. The protagonists switch directions and I wasn’t sure who was who. I thought one of the parents turned rainbow and some new guy started yelling at them from out of frame. I think the parents should stay the same direction and the new guy should enter from stage left. And the pointing arm should come from stage right so we know it’s the parents.

      Yeah, this comic really suffers from some poor decisions, most of which you already covered. But I wanted to add that since chameleons are chiefly known for being able to change their colors (though not in the way most people think, but I digress), the poor layout absolutely makes you think that one of the parent chameleons changed to show support while the other didn’t. But it still doesn’t quite work that way because of all the teleporting and position swapping, so it just adds to the overall confusion.

      With some layout changes and mirroring as another user already mentioned, this comic would be pretty good

      Yup, if every frame after the first was mirrored (not the text, obvs) this would make much more sense!

    This is actually a really insightful comic when I think about it. People don’t just turn down offers to join community after they’ve been shunned.

    i’ve long suspected that the real reason why we can’t have a casual sleepover at our neighbor’s is because it would weaken parent’s total control and ability to pressure their children to adhere to stupid commands.

    The real danger to kids is in them discussing and learning about things relating to sex. Republicans raping kids is fine, but evil librals discussing sex and gender related topics with them is very dangerous, because it might lead the the kids refusing at rape o’clock or telling other people about what happens at rape o’clock.

      i’ve become convinced that it’s mostly about the birthrate. people want their kids to have many kids again, but that’s less likely if the kids are gay.

        Evolutionary psychology would agree. Who it is or isn’t considered alright to have sex with and under what conditions sex is considered moral and immoral is the biggest example of something that has completely different norms to different cultures and something people are more inclined to have strong feelings about.
