I feel like this is somewhat understandable, since it has a practical use case—being sober at parties but not wanting to stand out.

It wasn't really a parody of the little photo stories in tabloids, but the full-length ones covering multiple pages in magazines. Stories like this were hugely popular, particularly in magazines aimed at teenage girls. Honestly a lot of Viz started as parody and is now one of the few remnants of about 70 years of cliches from UK comics/magazines aimed at kids and teenagers.

Hello! My friend Brandon has drawn another comic for my website. It is also animated so it’s basically a movie. How many other webcomics give you free movies? Thanks, Brandon. Read Brandon’s other comics here!

Yeah, my buddy used to throw a lot of parties and kept a case of it around for just that purpose. I have no idea if that's something that the creators had in mind, but it worked really well and more people took him up on it than I would have assumed.

My favourite was Sean Bean playing a schlub who got a haircut and it made him look like Sean Bean only for the real Sean Bean (with a badly photoshopped picture of Sean Bean's face on him) to swoop in at the end to nick his bird.

Actually it might just make more sense to read it.

I clicked to see a dumb company but their point about cans > bottles for recycling and program to mail used pop bottles back to their respective corporations is pretty alright.

I think he is annoyed by the noise, if he was angry about the call or trying to overhear her conversation, he would be more annoyed by her behavior in the last panel instead of going back to work.

Ask your wife how to say "observe the fine hindquarters" in Hungarian and then show her your butt.
