I have coworkers who hug on success. They’ll look over at my desk and do little air pats.
Honestly the the first time had people respect that. 🙏
Well that’s a rude thing to say to your… girlfriend?
Or she just isnt his girlfriend and is simply being an invasive asshole.
I think the implication is that she is his girlfriend and he just wants to break up.
Which is a bit weird, because look at that t-shirt. She’s clearly marriage material.
Perhaps they’re in what the kids call a “situationship”.
Maybe he’s just an ass and she thinks he’s joking
That was how I read it at first too, but she at least implies that she is his “quirky girlfriend” depending on how you interpret it.

If Millenial, why Hate Wife-shaped?
A lot of guys do hate their girlfriends, and view them as sex dispensers and maids.
Being trans didn’t even help me escape. It really fucking sucks at the end of a 7 year old relationship to finally understand that you were there to make his peepee feel good and clean up after him while he plays vidya. Difficult for me to even believe love exists lol.
That blows. Being in a relationship has been the hardest experience of my life. I’ve had to step up in a lot of ways, and so has my SO. But we’re both happy together and are in it for the long haul.
You deserve someone that chooses to improve themself for you!
Damn. I’m sorry this happened to you. 7 years in the fuckzone is awful.
it’s not his wife, nor his girlfriend
She says “hugged by his quirky girlfriend” which suggests they might be, or at least that’s how she sees the relationship. Could be clearer.
yeah judging by the guy’s response it seems like he’s not interested in her, and maybe she’s trying to change his mind?
also the artist of this comic is gay so maybe the guy in this comic is too and that’s why he’s uninterested
This is a much better looking style than Adam Ellis’s old buzzfeed art style but I don’t know if the joke lands any better.
Wait, is this Adam Ellis??
Well adamtots is his instagram handle
She makes me want to play Rift of the Necrodancer.
Either she’s his girlfriend and he’s just a complete asshole, or she’s his girlfriend and he’s being a sarcastic jackass(this is the only “good” scenario), or she’s a clingy type who calls herself his girlfriend even though he’s not into her at all and he’s either set boundaries she ignores or he just doesn’t really care if she invades his space like that.
No matter what, this comic sucks.
Maybe their relationship is fueled, in part, by sarcasm and thats just part of their dynamic. By being sarcastic, he’s actually demonstrated that his battery has recharged.
This is the case it was badly conveyed.
He’s smiling in the last panel.
Except, they included his uncharged battery in most frames.
Good take. That’s the only way I can get any wholesomeness out of the comic. Otherwise it just feels awkward and bad!
Or that batteries don’t actually work like that
Well, batteries only charge when you plug them in. (hint hint)
Yeah, “subverting” basic human love is just depressing
I’m very much feeling the last scenario. She seems incredibly clingy.
It’s called dark humor. Carful or you might drown in your own tears.
Dark humor has to actually be funny.
Dark humor like any humor is subjective. Funny to one, not to the other.
Just depressing, either he is being sarcastic or a jackass
Imagine how it would be if some random secretary in your workplace would do as she did. Imagine the same with opposite sexes.
I think the depressing part is to see the own expectations and how these comics are feeding them. He has the right to not like the person and she has no right to touch him without his permission
Why did you assume the female is a secretary? That’s not a common title anymore.
Why do you think people are hugging each other at work? We’re not.
I’ve always wanted a tv episode or something that works out like this; a long lead-up of “Why doesn’t he notice she’s interested in him?” ending with the guy finally stating he’s just not interested.
