he’s going to get raped by a duck. that’s the joke.

rape is funny, right? The Boys said it was. “retarded” is back, rape jokes are back, who said time is linear?

Idk i generally agree but the joke here isn't really rape but more the subversion of expectations, the joke couldve easily been 'yeah i learned last week the magpie steals shit' cut to panel of their keys getting stolen, instead of them learning it through a book. The rape part is of course to heighten the shock value, and is thus more of a prop than the actual joke imo. So it's not like the underlying message is 'rape is funny right guys?', but i definitely also see the objectionable part of using such serious topics like rape as a comedic prop

Also sidenote, this is cyanide and happiness, that's kinda their whole thing

I mean switch the character to a woman and ask yourself if rape is taking a backseat to the subversion.

not my kinda humor and I get I’m the buzzkill here but uhhh, just wanted to state my feelings on the matter to maybe help some other like-minded person feel heard.

Changing genders does nothing to this comic.

Despite the word being used, it's not actually a joke about rape. This is a joke on the same level as a weiner dog humping someone's leg. The perspective of an overly amorous duck with the main characters butt in frame add to the humor of it, but it's still only a crappy joke about an animal trying to get it on with a person.

No no i getcha, should've maybe stressed the 'its still objectionable' part a bit more. All respect for being a buzzkill btw, that shit is often needed.

A duck walked up to the lemon cake stand. And he said to the man, running the stand...
