Panel 1: A father and son stand at a bus stop, the father holding a briefcase. The son asks, “Daddy, why do you have to go to work every day?” Panel 2: The father responds, “So we can have nice things, my boy.” The son looks up at him. Panel 3: The son says, “But all of our things are shit.” Panel 4: The father says, “You’re shit.” and gazes into the distance, lost in thought.
“So we can eat” would probably be more honest
“But all we have to eat is shit”
You are what you eat, you little shit.
Well we can’t cook it without electricity or gas. Now eat your MRE and shut up!
Yeah, comic sounds dated, like from 90s when people had nice things.
I thought I remembered this or a very similar comic where the punchline is: your things are shit.
The version of this that I’ve heard is “So we can buy nice toys” – “But all my toys are shit” – “LOL mine aren’t”
