    This is previous to that one panel of Veronica trying the bikini, right? Or does it come after? I’m intrigued now, I need to know if she got her bikini to show em she can, or if she’s outraged here because she wasn’t allowed with hers.

    In any case, Betty is a party pooper.

          Saw the other one. Seems like one page trow away panels. Might be filler for other Archie universe comics, or newspapers?

            There is definitely Archie single panels for front or back pages of the comic books

      After reading the comic strip, do you agree with what is being discussed in the context ?😊😊😊

        What do you work for like a Russian bot Farm or something and you’re trying to get karma? This is Lemmy, you don’t need to do that here. Just start talking about whatever bullshit you want. You don’t have to do this weird ass engagement garbage. So fucking mindless it’s embarrassing for you.

        In your own words, what is the context, if you don’t mind my asking? What is this image, and what is your interpretation of its (perhaps underlying) meaning?

            What part of it was most enjoyable to you? Can you describe it, and how it relates to your life, perhaps?

              I simply relished Betty’s dialogue. Over here, society dictates an individual’s personal taste, which is being voiced by Veronica.

                Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. You are helping me appreciate this comic more.

                What did you relish about Betty’s dialogue? Was it amusing and/or relatable to you?

                I see your point about Veronica. Do you think she might be representing society in this comic? Who or what does Betty represent, do you think?

                I think maybe this comic might have something to do with the dichotomy of shame and envy. Maybe your point about society relates somehow to that dichotomy? What do you think about that idea?

                  Envy is a natural human instinct. It’s there in nature. Shame, however, is conditioned into you. In villages in my country, boys as old as 13 or 14 years old roam around naked. People don’t bother. Even l used to roam around naked in my house when l was 11, and my uncles used to beat me for putting on a pair of shorts.

      So many of OP’s post titles (including on their apparent alts) are weird generic questions that are fishing for engagement. They don’t seem to even “get” all the jokes they share. I’m not quite sure what their objective is, apart from maybe posting content for the sake of content to grow Lemmy/communities. It feels a lot like Facebook pages spamming generic content to grow an audience and then shifting to advertising a product and/or pushing propaganda.

    I agree that the normative body image depicted is problematic. But everyone should dress however they like.
