Ice cream should make whatever fate awaits him better. Dying while eating ice cream seems like one of the more pleasant ways.

Maybe he will die of diabetes?

I have never thought about it like that. Truly thought provoking.

[-] 1024_Kibibytes@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

That is a possibility, but $5 of ice cream isn't enough to do most people any damage, although I suppose it could be the start of diabetes.

[-] dandroid@dandroid.app 7 points 10 months ago

Diabetes isn't even caused by sugar. You're at higher risk of getting diabetes if you are obese, which you can become if you regularly overindulge on sugar. But you aren't going to get diabetes just because you drowned your sorrows in ice cream one time.

What about twice?

The fortune teller needs to run two sets of telling; one where she gives him back his money and one where she keeps it and lie to him. And maybe a control group for good measure.

Four panels and somehow only two facial expressions

Copy paste saves on ink, cartoonists are poor.

[-] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I mean, these comics are low quality in general. I support efficient labor but this is lazy all around.

It’s so sad he doesn’t get into arts school. 🙁

Godwin's law is stronger than any of Newton's.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago

I mean that does kinda look like ice cream in the crystal ball...

[-] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

It's the fortune-fortune no mi

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

For good news like that I would let her keep the change!

[-] ultratiem@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

I think working the last panel back into the fortune tellers reaction would have given it a stronger punchline.

Instead of ice cream, “She gave me my money back! Looks like it’s time for those sky diving lessons!”

Give it some predestination vibes

[-] match@pawb.social 7 points 10 months ago

five bucks! time to try seafood for the first time :3

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 10 months ago

Nah, 5 dollars won't buy you those lessons but it will buy you ice cream.

[-] Nepenthe@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

$5 will buy you the kind of lessons that will earn that reaction

[-] registrert@lemmy.sambands.net 0 points 10 months ago

$5 Skydiving lessons, satisfaction guaranteed or your money back!
