==Explanation== | ==Explanation== | ||
− | This comic | + | {{incomplete|verification and language fixes needed.}} |
+ | This comic depicts the common situation of a messy car but the uncommon scenario of that car containing decaying animals, in this case a {{w|raccoon}}. Raccoons are known to rummage through trash cans and other trash areas. This person's car is therefore in such a bad state as to appear to the raccoon to be just another trash area. That this is so bad as to trap the animal is similar to the horrible conditions that {{w|hoarding}} may create. | ||
This is the polar opposite of [[1267: Mess]], where the person apologizes for a nearly non-existent mess. Here, the person minimizes a completely atrocious mess into a quick fix situation. The form of the comic is that of a pro-tip, which tells the reader what the phrase "I just have to clear a few things out of the back" really means. | This is the polar opposite of [[1267: Mess]], where the person apologizes for a nearly non-existent mess.

− | + | The title text further exposes the reality of the person's knowledge of how bad the situation really is when he acknowledges the existence of the dead raccoon while trying to usher the live one to the same side. Sitting next to a dead '''and''' a live raccoon is not an improved scenario. | |
