− | + | The theme of this comic is social awkwardness. It shows [[Cueball]] (standing in for [[Randall]]) trying to be friends with [[Hairy]]. | |
− | + | It starts out with a common way of making friends or interacting with friends, hanging out over a meal. However, Cueball then says that he also doesn't need to eat to talk, which, while true, is a bit of an odd thing to say. Cueball then says he doesn't need to eat, meaning he doesn't need to eat ''right now'', but he goes on to clarify that he ''does'' need to eat, meaning ''in general'', and again it's odd that he clarified. He then awkwardly talks about how he can eat later if Hairy would rather just talk. This is obviously a situation that Randall has encountered before, and he apologizes for trying to offer advice. | |
− | + | The title text says Cueball wants to be friends ''at'' Hairy, rather than ''with'' him, which isn't how friendship usually works. {{Citation needed}} "At" would usually be used with an unilateral action directed towards a target, like "smiling at" or "pointing at", rather than a mutual activity. While being friends ''with'' Hairy means both Cueball and Hairy participate in "being friends", being friends ''at'' Hairy technically implies Cueball being engaged in a single-sided activity called "being friends" that he just happens to direct at Hairy. | |
