− | + | In the comic, a guy is addressing his ex-partner, telling her that six months after their split-up, he still has dreams of their being together. In the moment after waking up he is sometimes unable to tell reality and dream apart. However, the third panel reveals the punchline: His confusion results from the likeness between his ex and her mother, next to whom he apparently wakes up every morning. It becomes clear that he has left the girl six months ago in order to live with her mother instead – mainly because the older woman can do "that thing with her tongue", possibly referring to fellatio. | |
− | + | The comic lampshades at the state of emotional confusion after a break-up that is prominently featured in many films and books. | |
