    I get the idea and I like it; but please don’t put poverty in this comics. Poor people aren’t envious of richer people, they deserve to live normally.

      You’re assuming he’s poor, and not just shit at cooking, or too apathetic to try or learn.

        How likely do you think it is that the auth9r meant that and not that he was poor…?

          I think he’s going for a hipster New York Loft aesthetic.

        To loose a dog, to be overweight, to see a relationship end are sad but normal things. Poverty isn’t.

            I didn’t add anything. I just know how to.read an image. Elementary school stuff.

      As someone who was poor and now is not poor, that’s bullshit. I was for sure envious of well-off folks around me. Now I absolutely don’t take it for granted.

        It wasn’t envy. It was a normal reaction to an unjust situation.

            You’re right sorry. So it was envy. But I don’t think it’s the same kind of envy, coming from someone who also left poverty, and felt that too.

      I think its a valid example though. Sometimes poor people can save up to go out once and splurge on lobster. People tend to post the highlights of their lives on social media. I think the point here is to not buy into it so much
