<p>MollyMock: /* Explanation */</p> <hr /> <div>{{comic<br /> | number = 1615<br /> | date = December 11, 2015<br /> | title = Red Car<br /> | image = red_car.png<br /> | titletext = That guy only drives an alkaline car to overcompensate for his highly acidic penis.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Explanation==<br /> This comic is a take on the common stereotype that men who drive big (expensive) cars, do so to compensate for a small penis.<br /> <br /> {{w|Cyan}} is a greenish-blue color that is not a basic color term in most languages. It is the {{w|complementary color}} to red.<br /> <br /> [[Megan]], upon seeing [[Hairy]] drive past in a red convertible, tells [[Cueball]] that he must be compensating for his cyan colored penis.<br /> <br /> This comic thus generalizes the original stereotype to an assumption that men drive cars that complement their penis. Under this principle, a red car would complement a cyan penis. <br /> <br /> In the title text two other opposites are mentioned: {{w|acid}} and {{w|alkaline}}. An alkaline car would complement an acidic penis.<br /> <br /> ==Transcript==<br /> :[Megan and Cueball are standing next to an intersection as Hairy drives by in a red convertible.]<br /> :Megan: I bet he just drives that car to overcompensate for his cyan penis.<br /> <br /> {{comic discussion}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Comics with color]]<br /> [[Category:Comics featuring Megan]]<br /> [[Category:Comics featuring Cueball]]<br /> [[Category:Comics featuring Hairy]]</div>
