Rookie mistake

I mean getting a gun pulled on you is usually an awkward situation.

At this point I'm just glad she is communicating. Two steps forward, one step belly up.

Her reaction, no. His reaction, yes. Confidence is sexy, in any gender. Him looking flabbergasted... the gun was justified.

Just try not to think about the fact that a woman who looks like her was subsequently your parents' unicorn at least once, and you'll be all set.

Wait, she was the redhair in the Fifth Element? Yup, there she was cute.

The characters were drawn in a more stylized way in order to add some levity to the punchline panels. You’ll find a similar technique in anime when the characters become chibi during comedic scenes. This emphasizes the idea that a scene shouldn’t be taken seriously.

The artist probably could’ve gone further with the stylization here to drive the point in harder. Right now it looks more “unfinished” than an obvious style change for comedic effect.

Content that is potentially polarising, allows for virtue signalling, allows judgement of a romantic relationship, meant to be lighthearted......this has a lot of elements to be very successful as internet posted content.

Only ways I can think of is adding in something about sex, weed and /or a dog.

Much better than reddit I’ll give you that, you will be told that your relationship is toxic and you should end it

Well okay,

Having my significant other draw a gun on me would end the relationship. Should we both survive this encounter I would take fairly drastic action to make sure we never encounter each other again. I was once in a bit of a dry spell, and I decided to datamine my sex life up to that point to collate what kind of things lead to success, and the thing I realized was more than half of the women I had dated were violent with me. And because sitcoms think that woman slaps man is a punchline, I thought that was normal. I don't accept violence out of a romantic partner anymore and this is a comic depicting a threat of extreme violence between romantic partners.

Now seeing that the art style gets more abstract in the last two panels, I won't take the gun literally but more as "she lets it be known that she will make it a major problem if he doesn't comply." Whether it's about her insecurities about her own looks or a desire to control his opinions, the fact that she'd rather threaten to scream or cry or pitch a fit or turn a cold shoulder or make him sleep on the couch or whatever if he doesn't say what she wants him to say rather than talk about it...doesn't really allow much room to build a future with this woman. He'll probably stick around until she stops putting out, probably because she blew up about something.

On the third hand, there are ways to play this as flirty and fun, depends on your dynamic together. I strongly suspect the above isn't that, but it can be done.

It really isn't, unless your SO is ridiculously insecure.

I mean it could be but sucks if you're with a partner who does get upset about that

Haha yeah it's just the boomers who are insecure and possessive ^{ha ha}
