Parody Week: TFD and Natalie Dee
Although bees with tires would be kinda funny.
Title text: Although bees with tires would be kinda funny.

Explanation

This comic is a part of the Parody Week, just joking about other webcomics. This series was released on 5 consecutive days (Monday-Friday) and not over the usual Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule and is comprised of the following five parodies:

TFD is an acronym for Toothpaste For Dinner which is a daily one-panel cartoon written and drawn by Drew Fairweather. Each comic features small, simple drawings, paired with short captions or dialogue.

Natalie Dee is the author of the daily comics Natalie Dee. This webcomic comprises various sketches illustrating amusing or anecdotal situations from every day life.

Drew and Natalie are husband & wife, and are also the authors of the webcomic Married to the Sea.

In similar style to their simple comics we see xkcd's Cueball ask the two creators of the two comics what's funny. The woman in color represents Natalie who do color drawings that could include animals, and she thinks bees are funny. The man is Drew drawn like his own characters with a weird head shape. He thinks tires are funny. Then Natalie combines those to say that bees with tires are funny, and he is like, whatever.

No animals have ever develop wheels but the title text just mentions that bees with tires would be kinda funny.

Discussion

Why is there nothing? This was just a blank box with no text in it. I am adding this comment so it isn't a completely blank box. Beanie (talk) 09:39, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
