A true dad wouldn't pass up an opportunity to boop the son's nose with this setup.

5/7 meme.

The truth is boogers?

I get the dad being an alien, "the truth is out there", and him being wholesome, but where does dad also being Dracula factor into the joke?

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 7 points 4 months ago

Even though he is a scary monster (i.e. Dracula), no matter what he is still a corny, cringe-y dad. The contrast is meant to be lightly humorous. Most of the time the joke is in the wordless expression of the son as he reacts to his dad's shenanigans.

I absolutely always enjoy these. Frankly, they have such a high hit vs miss rate that I’m terrified of wearing out their novelty by reading the entire backlog. Love this comic, will always read the most recent few when it’s posted!

I chill with the Apaches while they recite unwritten hymns and share a pipe packed with some shit I ain't ever witnessed.

This shit ain't nothing to me, man.
