Oh my God ... he chose arms didn't he?

Omg, I didn't get that far in the joke. I was just thinking that he was ignoring the stupid text presure by just being in the moment doing stupid nonsense stuff with his friends ignoring the phone.

It is implying that the reason he was not answering the gf on the phone is because of the choice he was given at the last panel: he chose to not have arms, they cut his arms, and he can't write a text on the phone anymore because of it.

wow. that is not my take at all. my take is he is not answering because hes talking stupid bullshit with his friends so is not paying attention to his phone as opposed to being out with a girl not paying attention to his phone.

This comic did not need to have an anti woman slant to make this joke.

Yeah, it would definitely be better as a 3 panel (2 through 4)

I guess I'll lose your arms and your legs

I wanna know if he was allowed to say 1 of each would you go full left, full right, or 1 from each side. I would also imagine the arm side would absolutely have to be the non dominant one.

Use nose to swipe down on phone to unlock. Use virtual assistant to check messages. No arms, no problem ;)
