      I might be reading into it, but I thought the joke was that parents can react childishly when you change your appearance in a way they don’t approve of. My mum keeps saying ‘ooops I thought there was snot hanging from your nose but it’s just you piercing’, for example.

          I never say it to my wife (I think people should utilize a filter between their thoughts and their lips, but my mom doesn’t have a filter either) but I often catch a glimpse of my wife’s glasses showing just a touch below her nose when looking from a particular angle, and I think she has snot starting to drip from her nose.

          Also I hate the modern American version of female beauty. But my wife doesn’t even wear makeup so I’m happy at home.

        They need to make a piercing that looks like a blob of snot for people to wear around their parents.

          I bet it exists. I’d check Etsy, but I’m too lazy.

      She’s also lacking the same purple skin tone as her mom, so I’m not sure what’s up there either.

      Yep, different is the right word for the results of a lot of plastic surgery.

        Getting some botox is not “a lot of plastic surgery” tho :P

          they meant more “a wide variety” rather than “a large quantity” and were likely using plastic surgery for a catch all for elective procedures for aesthetic purposes.

          “some botox” is not what the comic is about, clearly. It’s about how many do it to a point where they are unrecognisable form before and mostly not in a good way.
