      Envy has existed far longer than social media, none of these things would go away if social media doesn’t exist. Social media just amplifies it.

      Comparison has always been the thief of joy.

    sorry, drinking, can you help me out?

    the 6th panel is chubby man’s son?

    why is young couple from first owner in last panel?

    i thought it was a generational story.

    their dead brown dog is related to the white dog in panel 7?

    I’d love to know how my drank messed me up, thanks.

    I get the idea and I like it; but please don’t put poverty in this comics. Poor people aren’t envious of richer people, they deserve to live normally.

        To loose a dog, to be overweight, to see a relationship end are sad but normal things. Poverty isn’t.

      You’re assuming he’s poor, and not just shit at cooking, or too apathetic to try or learn.

    Unless you’re a republican from South Dakota, then you shoot the dog and dump it in a gravel pit and publicize it so others can be envious of how truly American you are.
