It might have even been funny if the characters didn't have a dead fish stare.
I thought the joke was Raquel saying "they" pronouns are grammatically incorrect while she herself was being grammatically incorrect. It was just a follow-up from the last one in order to mock Raquel again....It's a fourth wall joke, guys. Not everything Sophie makes needs to be the dumbest worstest thing ever. Besides, it's not even like she came up with it herself..
The comics are really dropping in whatever microscopic quality they had. When it's just 2 kids standing in front of each other with walls 'o text, it's hard to make a creative edit....
I mean, to further prove my point
(these are not intended to be funny)
Those bubbles can contain anything, and the punch is the same.
Someone says something.
Someone says something else.
Stare at each other in disbelief.
Fourth wall jokes are usually boring at best and clash with Sophie's typical style of writing (serious rants with little to no humor). I think today's comic being written by other people is partially why it went over most of our heads....It's a fourth wall joke, guys.

The other half being a grammer joke about how huffy cis people get over it which is much more... "Labellian humor." And we all know Sophie doesn't care about grammer and spelling because, "the English language is always evolving," according to SJW doctrine. Exceptions being any time someone says transgendered, CIS (in capitals), something like "the gay community" instead of "LGBTQ+ people", etc., etc...
I honestly don't mind the use of the singular "they." I think it's helpful when talking about someone that's not obviously male or female. Point is, I really don't see many other cis people complaining about it either. If anything we should be more concerned about non-intersex people insisting they're biologically neither a man nor a woman or both at once, not the fact that they prefer being called "they."This. Billie and his drones throuht the joke was a snippy, clever "gotcha" directed at dang dirty cishets who like language policing.
I use motherfucker as a personal pronoun, because I ain't callin' motherfuckers xir, xie, or they.This. Billie and his drones throuht the joke was a snippy, clever "gotcha" directed at dang dirty cishets who like language policing.
I've said it before and I've said it again, the content of the bubble don't matter.

The joke is so formulaic, anything works.
And the best thing is, what Raquel is thinking in the last bubble is left to the reader! Is she jealous? Envious? Thinking that Stephie is weird as hell? Thinking Stephie's mom is insane?
YOU DECIDE.
Dammit, I was really hoping LaBelle would avoid talking about American politics.

Especially one who was a mockery of their own political establishment. Remember that Billy also ran for office on an especially idiotic platform and looks completely inelectable. Trump just looks like Farange and vice versa.Smelly wannabe Frenchmen have no place talking about our politics.

Tough talk from a man who can't speak French correctly, much less English.New comic, @Hat
How do you know which word they said, Stephie?

Oddly enough, I've encountered this technique while dealing with other brands of online crazy, from Truthers to Creationists to homeopaths to Scientologists. They'll focus on stupid shit like grammar and terminology, small details, while totally ignoring the substance of your argument. Probably because they feel like they're on more solid ground dealing with stupid shit than actually getting into an in-depth discussion.Meanwhile transtrenders flip out at the slightest verbal or written mistake in a conversation. Even the "allies" trying their best to follow each rule, speaking with proper ediquite to support their trans friends on social media are doomed to slip up eventually and get attacked for it.
Anything resembling a civil discussion is near impossible with them so why should cis people even care what transtrenders want? Labelle's hateful propaganda (ugh, cis people) only makes things worse and I wish she'd understand that!
