    Interesting take to say this could even be conceived of as an ad, as that’s clearly based on like a 2009 Dodge. Interesting they used Bullet though, a company called Sterling used to make a heavy frame truck called the Sterling Bullet which would have been based on that body style of Ram.

      They used “bullet” because the entire comic is setting up the joke about having “dodged a bullet”.

    I’m not sure when it happened, but the author of these comics definitely pulled a Scott Addams at some point.

    Probably when he got enough money to start thinking Republicans make some good points about tax rates

    Came to Lemmy so I don’t get advertising. Pretty sure infantile cartoon can be made without obvious product placement?

          Pointless trucks, like in 90% of the cases. We are not talking about the people who actually use it for taking stuff with it on the field. We are talking about the assholes who drive it in cities “because it looks cool” or some shit. In case you were just kidding, consider my comment null.

      Yeah this comic might be the worst I’ve seen. Like ad placement as well, wut?

        It’s not an ad. The entire comic is setting up a pun around the male character feeling like he’s dodged a bullet.

        Its mocking overly-expensive weddings. It’s mocking overly-expensive cars/trucks. It’s mocking self-centred people in relationships who are oblivious to their partners’ perspectives. It’s mocking people who have no financial sense and see their wants as needs but are happy to dismiss their partners’ wants as unimportant. It’s mocking car adverts. But mostly, it’s just a silly pun.
