[blue character points at a square] We’ve done a peer reviewed study, and concluded that all squares have four sides
[annoyed orange character points at a diamond shape] This is objectively wrong, I’ve personally seen a four sided structure that isn’t a square
I think the point of the joke is that the yellow character has fundamentally misunderstood the statement provided by the blue character. They erroneously interpret, “All squares have four sides” as “Squares are the only shape with four sides” because they are not good at parsing rigid, scientific statements (since most people are not particularly scientifically literate).
I think OP’s comics are meant to reflect the frustrations of conversing with people who simply don’t understand what science/research/studies/etc actually say.
Correct 🫡
So you’re saying I’m the yellow/orange guy in the comic?
Not quite. You understood that the blue character was correct. You just missed that the joke was that yellow was wrong.
It’s okay, either way I feel like the yellow guy.
We’re all the yellow guy sometimes
