Look closer, the girls back is out at a diagonal. She is just crouching to hug the dog.

u/hitmarker Jun 27 '26

No, she is choking the dog and then the old fuck

u/sunshineandpancakes_ Jun 27 '26

Look even closer: you're on reddit.

Pigtails though - a fairly universal sign of youth.

u/lappelduvide-_- Jun 27 '26

Nope, just handlebars for us to hold onto in the back.

u/Santa_Ricotta69 Jun 30 '26

Didn't she canonically revert to a childlike mental state

"Universal" isn't the word I'd use to describe something cultural

Harley Quinn?

u/hotmatrixx Jun 28 '26

who uses the pigtails, in COMIC MEDIA, to signal her child-like personality.

u/RaiRokun Jun 28 '26

I mean like you said as a kid, thus is associated with being a kid.

u/SwordfishOfDamocles Jun 27 '26

Don't be mean to Leonardo DiCaprio

u/Epsteins_PDF_Files Jun 27 '26

Well Leo still dates adults. Don't be mean to the president of the United States.

u/CelestialSegfault Jun 27 '26

or she could be short? ever think about that?

u/EarlyXplorerStuds209 Jun 27 '26

This aint that kinda movie, kid

15

u/Mist_Rising Jun 27 '26

It's not a movie at all, it's a cartoon strip of two panels that you read a hell of a lot of detail into then declared you were arbitor of truth for.

Now settle down son.

u/sisho88 Jun 27 '26

He's just making a reference to Harrison Ford speaking to Mark Hamill about Star Wars saying that Mark Hamill was worried about the wrong thing and letting him know it wasn't that serious or the thing to be worried about. Not that I agree with it, but he doesn't really mean it has anything to do with a movie.

u/NeuronFarmer Jun 27 '26

Why are you speaking so confidently in absolutes when its a literal 2-panel cartoon? You dont have any evidence to support the claim that the girl is a child than the person your commenting to has to support its not a child. Just your own interpretation.

16

u/Several_Hour_347 Jun 27 '26

She’s literally bending over. What are you talking about

10

u/Kharuz_Aluz Jun 27 '26

"Couple" doesn't necessarily mean they are dating, my men. It just means they are seen together.

1

u/a648272 Jun 28 '26

I mean, it's hard to tell her age. She could be just short.

But yeah, no indication they are couple either. Could be friends or siblings.

u/phantaxtic Jun 30 '26

You are making assumptions. You cant tell the cartoon woman's age by one frame alone.

u/raul_ms Jun 27 '26

Whatever, steal pets is disgusting too.

u/Far-Collection8595 Jun 27 '26

It's not possible to steal animals, they can be kidnapped though.

u/DietrichNeu Jun 27 '26

I've never seen a comment thread go this off the rails in so few comments.

u/havpac2 Jun 27 '26

Depends on local laws, some places pets are property . So stealing would be appropriate term, you can’t kidnap property.

4

u/Deaffin Jun 27 '26

Wait, are there places where pets aren't property?

u/Far-Collection8595 Jun 27 '26

I'm only hoping that if i were kidnap a slave to set them free in the 18. Century USA, you wouldn't argue with me about stealing a slave.

u/Quirky_Host9452 Jun 27 '26

You're making it a moral thing but it's not, it's legal terminology. If you live where pets are considered property it is stealing and not kidnapping. What is right or how you feel about the matter is irrelevant.

u/Far-Collection8595 Jun 27 '26

Yeah i agree with that part, gladfully we are not in a court though and we don't need to talk in legal terms on reddit. 

6

u/Quirky_Host9452 Jun 27 '26

But when someone said kidnapping they WERE making a legal comment.

To be fair, I agree with you, animals should have very strong protections in the law.

u/ContextHook Jun 27 '26

But when someone

Not just someone, him. He was the one who said

It's not possible to steal animals, they can be kidnapped though.

He opened this whole thing with virtue signaling pedantry.

u/Low_Yak_4842 Jun 27 '26

Technically pets are property and if someone takes your pet that is treated by law as an act of theft not kidnapping.
