That lady is wearing an empire waist top which flares out around the hips so it's going to be pretty hard to tell whether she has belly fat, a baby bump, or a six-pack underneath. I don't know why someone would feel confident enough to congratulate her on pregnancy when they can't even see her belly.
With that bow on it, it strikes me as maternity. Fortunately I learned not to comment on people's pregnancies until the child is 12 or so.
Act like you were taking about her boobs and not her belly?
Your mileage may wildly vary.
No. You act like someone told you that they adopted a baby kitten.
I’m confused. Illustrators can’t tell when somebody is pregnant or fat? Or is it that they don’t understand the social norm of not asking if you’re not sure? Or is the title irrelevant?
It’s that they try to CTRL Z real life situations
Yeah. Its like... welp, went down the wrong path in that dialogue tree, undo, ctrl z, load previous save!
Is this loss?
No baby? Checks out.
Damn. What’s darker than dark humor?
Ummm, darker humor?
What if you actually can ctrl-z irl, but your memory also gets undone so you can't know for sure
Just like in The Devil's DeLorean
Just follow it up with “the food baby! They got some great food at this party! I’mma go get some!”
Thats when you just start singing "hey baby hey baby hey!"
