Look. I've been to Amsterdam just last week. This is not how people look after smoking some weed at a cafe. In this particular case, since they had to fly all the way from Australia, it's safe to say they didn't have enough sleep, so their eyes got red essentially after a sleepless night.

Your posts give me red eyes because you are incredibly dense and it made me pop a blood vessel.

conjunctivitus sounds like a spell that a wizard or witch would cast, so it can't be that because megg is clearly as much of an abject failure at magic as she is at every other aspect of her life

There is actually a part in Harry Potter where a kid casts a spell to give a dragon conjunctivitis.

Actually, I've posted more than one funny comic in this thread. And I will post even more funny comics in the future.


Well, if American Dad (?) thinks that eyes get red from smoking weed... And even then the joke is that the owner of that buckle clearly knows very little about drugs.

Well that above was a hotlink (and should probably be changed)

But Imgur by default gives you a link lacking the image extension now and I guess people are too lazy to tack it on manually before posting because :justpost:

According to a dude on reddit, its about endochondral ossification.


Reddit posted:

I could be mistaken, but i believe this is a comic about endochondral ossification. Skeleton jelly is essentially a chondrocyte (cartilage cell) which hypertrophies (drinks the well) and dies (gets eaten). He then cacifies (squirxical jelly) and then drips into ultraviolet city, which looks suspiciously like the trabeculae of ossified bone. I'm pretty sure it's not all a coincidence, it made me chuckle.

Soo... what's the little guy whose brain is made of animals?

You know, that is the one thing I really couldn't put my finger on. I looked over the comic again after reading your comment and noticed a few other interesting things though. After meeting tiny animals brain dude, Skeleton Jelly says "Am I Skull Town Jelly? No! I am Skeleton Jelly." This line caught my eye not only because of the play on words, but because bones of the skull and general cranial region ossify through Intramembranous Ossification, which is a very different process compared to the Endochondral Ossification that Skeleton Jelly goes through. Hence, his violent reaction against becoming Skull Town Jelly.

The man with many hands and eyes that Skeleton Jelly meets reminds me of the Hypothalamus gland in that it is the main link between the endocrine and nervous system. The hypothalamus receives a lot of information and dictates a lot of developmental instruction, explaining the 360 degree vision and all the hands held like traffic signs.

To me, the well is just a source of ground substance, which helps alter a chondrocyte's chemical makeup to prepare it for apoptosis and ossification.

The guy who chews up Skeleton Jelly represents the mechanism by which chondrocytes perform apoptosis, but we don't exactly know what that mechanism is yet, so I can't say for sure. (Osteoblasts is what I assume, but more research must be done).

The last character our Jelly meets is my favourite. Taking my previous assumptions to be correct, Jelly must be inside a human body, and the squares of all the walls are various cells, right? Well we meet this alien-shaped character who looks almost human - at least in the early developmental stages. My guess is a fetus for that reason, and Jelly must be in a pregnant woman. This makes sense to me as well because the female pelvis expands and gets slightly denser in late term pregnancies to support more weight, correct center of mass, etc...

Of course the comic falls closer to making a commentary about the crises of identity and existentialism, but I couldn't help but notice the parallels between the working human anatomy and Skeleton Jelly's little adventure.
