Some of the early ones are pretty awkward, but this is gold.

And I mean, specifically-- not “awkward” in that the joke was bad, uncreative or unfunny, but moreso that Larson was clearly still in that formative period, still with some rough edges to work out in his comics mastering.

It’s periods like these really, that I consistently find utterly fascinating. Particularly when the creator is pretty dang genius. Not unlike Groening and team behind Simpsons S1, if that makes sense.

You can tell this was drawn before people started marrying their chatbots
