    I get that. I just don’t get why that’s funny. Have that with the vast majority of the farside cartoons. They always feel like they’re missing the punchline, to me.

      Every time I see one of these in my feed I feel exactly the same. Even those that I understand the humor of, I find not particularly funny.

      I agree pretty strongly with this generally. The farside has a way of having jokes that are so simple on it’s face that I’m left thinking “surely I’ve missed something?” Usually it turns out that no, in fact, I got the joke and was just vastly underwhelmed.

      For whatever reason I found this one to be mildly funny. Couldn’t tell you why. Perhaps it’s the idea that the people who built the atomic bomb weren’t that smart after all?
