    This could’ve been one panel.

        Their mom was one panel last night. Twice.

          Then it’s not a comic, it’s just the word “minimum” written in calligraphy.

            And nothing of substance would be lost, that’s the point.

            “This meeting comic could’ve been an e-mail image.”

              That’s true of most comics, really. Most of them could have been books. Or lines in a joke book. Transitioning to a visual medium is simply one method of telling jokes. You don’t have to do anything any specific way at all.

          But without context that makes no sense unless you’re really into calligraphy

            Put a pen there or make it clear that it’s paper. These are imho quite obvious.

          So you don’t see the characters, you don’t see the misunderstanding that it isn’t a fence, and you don’t find out that he is doing calligraphy. Do know it says ‘minimum’ though.

          That doesn’t really seem like a comic strip to me

        Everything but the last panel just explains the joke before it’s even made.

      You’re not wrong. It was already around for 20 years, before this comic borrowed it. I think I’ve usually seen it with just a caption or something. And this comic didn’t really add any funny.
