Okay, that was a good one. "420th Smokage" made me laugh like an idiot.

The "Taco Problem" must be quite an interestingly fun restaurant, considering that I had tacos for a snack yesterday. Smile

It took me about six attempts to parse the first speech bubble. Is "Taco Problem" based on a real life fast food chain?

I assumed that it was a reference to Taco Bell but I do not know what, if any, meaning I am supposed to get from "Problem" in that context.

Just talking from personal experience... Taco Bell tends to cause both my husband and I stomach upset, and I know several others that also state the same thing. I also know it tends to be a common complaint/joke I see around the internet, so that's what I'm assuming is being meant by "Problem".

Of course, that's also based on the idea that Taco Bell is the reference as well.

It's taking me a while but I am starting to get your sense of humor (same probably for others) It is not as much set up punchline as it snarky vailed one liners.

Oh, finally! I've spent years wondering why Americans insist on putting yellow cheese on tacos and why did no one tell you that you're ruining them! Laughing

I'm assuming it's called Taco "Problem" because well....for obvious reasons.

I hope one day soon we can witness a Naruto "smokage" cosplay. That would be amazing.

I get the references. It's just that I have to strain my sense of humour really hard to find it funny. I guess this comic is essentially a reference-based gag comic, judging from the jokes so far...
