Wednesday is for weird office stuff

Dustin, 6/7/23

I would hesitate to ever say you have to hand it to the syndicated comic strip Dustin, but you do have to hand it to the syndicated comic strip Dustin for making even imaginary conversations both hostile and confusing. Like, the whole point is that the donut is begging Dustin's dad to eat it, right? Like it's talking about how much he wants it (nonsexually) and basically offering itself up to be devoured. So why would Dustin's dad yell "So there!" rather than "You're right!" or "Thank you!" or something? Have years of work in the legal system and/or dealing with Dustin left him unable to conceive of any interaction that isn't at its root adversarial?
