Wednesday one-panels

Dennis the Menace, 8/7/24

Look, I respect the effort here -- the fundmental underlying joke is pretty good, Alice's indignant facial expression is funny, and Dennis looking genuinely hurt in the background is a nice touch. "Lived to tell about it.com" isn't a great URL, though, because it honestly sounds like a site for something a lot more traumatic and kind of spoils the mood, and a much bigger problem is that it's a website at all. A group of modern young baby sitters is simply not going to go to the trouble to buy a domain name and then set up a Wordpress account for a group blog or whatever. They'd set up a community on social media somewhere -- Facebook, maybe, Facebook groups have had a little bit of a comeback with younger people, or maybe whatever the TikTok equivalent is. Or a private Discord server! There probably isn't a TikTok equivalent, now that I think about it, not that I would know, because I don't go on there. What happens on TikTok is none of my business. The important thing is that I know that I don't know, which Socrates would say makes me smart. I'm going to run with that. Anyway, nice try but botched execution, Dennis the Menace, I give this 6 out of 10 stars.
