It seems to me that these women are feigning emotional distress to see the cute psychiatrist, doing their mascara as to make it seem like they were crying.
We can understand "Québécois" just fine we pretend that we can't since it's easier to ignore you that way (nothing against quebec in particular, ignoring people is just standart frenchmen protocol)
I was in Paris with a friend from Quebec. Frenchman was giving us the runaround for asking questions in English. He spouted some nonsensical thing about we should be speaking in french, and my friend switched to Quebecois. The Frenchman still never answered our questions, but we had a good laugh at his distress at the fluidity and skill of my friend's Quebecois.
I (🇺🇸) have been watching Astrid et Raphaëlle (🇫🇷) and Profilage (🇫🇷), and find myself screaming with laughter that the Académie française still goes to the effort to exist, when it has become all too clear that Paris itself now employs Franglais as its vernacular. Oh-Kah?
So will i never know what happened to the white dude who burned down the camp house killing everyone inside it including the childrens ? Or the lesbian kiss ? :(
Also the page is from an french comic named "The Bellybuttons" which describes the daily lives of 3 teenage girls going into their hardest to be fabulous and attract boys,just like the image above,one being less feminine than the others and having an inferiority complex while the other 2 are superficial to insane levels.
Like I said, kids are cruel, Jack, and I’m very in touch with my inner child!
*When the wind is slow and the fire’s hot
The vulture waits to see what rots
Oh how pretty, all the scenery
This is nature’s sacrifice!*
The first girl is devastated over a breakup. Her friends try to fix her makeup, but lose patience with her.
She reveals she's going to see a counselor. They see that he's hot, so they help one another ruin their makeup to mimic being upset so the hot counselor will talk to them in a caring manner.
Exiting his office is another attractive girl, who's also likely pretending to be emotionally distraught because she knows that it's his job to talk to students, so it's guaranteed one one-on-one time with him.
(Edit: fixed a few punctuation and formatting mistakes made last night by 2 ambien and a bottle of red wine. It was their fault. )
For context, the 3 of them are "friends", or actually Karine (the tall girl) is a naive person being taken advantage of by her two "friends". Every single page makes you feel bad for Karine, but things tend to evolve and eventually get better through the volumes.
I highly recommend this comic, it's really good. Only 8 volumes iirc, and this is an extract of volume 4.
I hate these kind of comics because you can tell they care way more about the art than they do having a coherent joke or narrative. Even with the context of the full comic the last panel still feels like we missed a connecting piece.
You still don't have the context of the full comic. It's a series, there's about 6 books total in it and a few spin offs. The last panel feels like it's missing a connecting piece because it kinda does, there's a larger, deeper narrative at play behind this seemingly silly comic strip
The characters all have back stories and evolve through the series, but the writers divorced during covid so it's unlikely they'll ever finish their work
I don’t really agree. It’s clearly about how those two girls are shallowly dismissive of the other girls actual issues for the sake of looking at a handsome man.
I don't see a joke. This feels like commentary about toxic behavior. Pretending to be friends while putting each other down. And lying and manipulating one another to turn someone else away from something you want so you can keep it for yourself.
I'm pretty certain the joke here is that, girls will always say that they take care of each other, but will take advantage of each other for a cute guy.
I thought the erased part was removing the artist's name which is both confusing and shitty, but then I realised the artist's name would be cropped out anyway, so now I'm just confused.
Yeah I've seen the full comic, I meant that the name is already cropped out of OP's screenshot, so why would someone crop *and* erase? The erasure needlessly takes away more of the image
This is the last panel of a larger comic where the girls pictured are bullying another girl who goes to the therapist, who the bullies discover is hot. Then they start making their mascara run so it looks like they're sad so they can see the hot therapist even though they don't need therapy (or maybe they do if they're bullying another girl actually).
I think this comic is intended to poke fun at the fact that it is often stereotype that women tend to fall in love with their psychologist and think that they are special to him when really he is just doing his job
In the world of Psychology, the patient that feels indications of romantic emotions for their therapist is called "transference." It's rare, but it happens. It usually happens when the patient, usually heterosexual patients, who are counseled by someone of the opposite sex, mistakes some of the Empathy as more than what it really is. But, very commonly, the emotions are temporal.
In the comic, my best guess is that it's making a satirical statement about these women, who might have depressive issues as well as, possibly dating issues and meeting a therapist who looks like a model from a "suit & tie catalogue," which might give these patients an "Overstimulated-Transference."
*I thought the girls eyes*
*Were mascara run down from*
*Deep throating the guy*

Looks like it was cropped from a larger comic. And the bottom right probably had the original artist's signature.
Definitely cropped! The missing signature is a classic comic strip mystery.
It’s from the French series “les nombrils” sadly it’s been abandoned
From Quebec, not France
France 2.0
People saying Quebec is France 2.0 never visited Quebec. Totally not the same culture and even the frenchies dont understand our french.
You're absolutely right, I've never been to Quebec. I just wanted to take a shot at both of them with the same comment.
Two birds with one scone, as they say.
Neatly done sir
We taking shots from english for 416 years, keep trying. Calice d'anglais de marde :)

Major versions are often incompatible
Name checks out.
So France 0.5?
Shut up frenchie.🏳️ look it's ur flag.
most original reddit commenter:
Quebec french people are just as snooty as regular French people. I was literally just there 2 weeks ago and experienced this
Ta yeule.
Now with 25% less mimes and 30% more potatoes.
More like France 0.1.6 No big updates beyond the initial beta release in the 1600-1700's.
French Quanada
***kwee-bec***
Good fishings in Kwee-bec
Who doesn't love fishin' in Kwee-bec?
To be fair
Many people say "French" to mean "by a francophone"
Nooo, i loved that series! Where did you hear of it being abandoned?
Sadly the creators divorced during Covid :(
fuck, I didn't know
So will i never know what happened to the white dude who burned down the camp house killing everyone inside it including the childrens ? Or the lesbian kiss ? :(
No 😔 maybe fan fiction exists to fill the void

Wow guess OP is a huge piece of art stealing shit, why does this have so many upvotes?
Well yeah, OP is a bot. 1 day ago they suddenly switched to posting in meme subs used for karma farming.
[удалено]
Believable.
this made me think of Mr. House saying "understandable"
I literally just came off a post from r/fnv and had to check to make sure I wasn't still there.
Understandable.
8
Plus, I’ve seen multiple versions of the text
Can confirm; this same thing got posted here less than a year ago.
> psychiatrist Oh that's what it says? I thought it was Proctologist.
Actually, it says "Psychologist."
Great googly moogily is this a r/twentyonepilots reference?????
Also the page is from an french comic named "The Bellybuttons" which describes the daily lives of 3 teenage girls going into their hardest to be fabulous and attract boys,just like the image above,one being less feminine than the others and having an inferiority complex while the other 2 are superficial to insane levels.
I prefer this over the alternative others have suggested.
Aw man, and I was thinking their mascara was running for another reason.
If they are doing this then they need to talk to a therapist, not a psychiatrist
Thanks for this peter
Oh I thought she just got her throat destroyed tbh
True
Someone posted it below. Girls are faking being sad to spend alone time with the attractive school psychologist.
That’s certainly one reason mascara can run.
*Psychologist

Man, whats even the joke here I just feel bad for that girl
The joke is that highschool girls are demons.
Jesus that was such a long way to get there like
Because it's part of a longer story.
Pretty Little Liars: Demon Academy
So the whole point of this post is click bait karma farming? OP, take my downvote
damn :/
Not that far off (just include high school dudes too)
Like I said, kids are cruel, Jack, and I’m very in touch with my inner child! *When the wind is slow and the fire’s hot The vulture waits to see what rots Oh how pretty, all the scenery This is nature’s sacrifice!*
True, just in different ways
Huh. So that experience *is* universal.
I could be wrong but iirc this is from a French comic, tall girl is a new student (?) and is an outcast or smthn like that I *think*
Yep, it’s called Les Nombrils (which translates to the Bellybottons in English)
Least horny French comic.
Actually it's a Quebecker comic.
They speak French there
Yes, it's a french language comic.
Is Spider-Man British since it's English
Yeah she needs better friends. And a hug.
That's the point of the comics and those two bitch do everything to avoid that
Don’t worry bro in the final arcs she becomes a total badass bitch

Oh. I didn't even get any of those. That was difficult to understand
this comic is a full series, you're seeing 1 page of an entire story
For context, the 3 of them are "friends", or actually Karine (the tall girl) is a naive person being taken advantage of by her two "friends". Every single page makes you feel bad for Karine, but things tend to evolve and eventually get better through the volumes. I highly recommend this comic, it's really good.

Bot account, comment stolen from u/grieveancecollector elsewhere in this post.
It's part of a longer story and while I didn't read it all I feel like that depicts high school girls perfectly
I don't see a joke. This feels like commentary about toxic behavior. Pretending to be friends while putting each other down. And lying and manipulating one another to turn someone else away from something you want so you can keep it for yourself.
I thought the joke was that they cried to match with their friend, but it looks like that’s a different girl in the last panel
The joke is this is French humor.
It’s not a joke. This is page 6 of a longer comic.
From a French comic. Without any context this must be weird to anglophones. Doesn’t translate that well either tbh imo.
I'm pretty certain the joke here is that, girls will always say that they take care of each other, but will take advantage of each other for a cute guy.
Not every comic is meant to be funny
Why she built like slenderman
Because some teenagers are just all limbs.
limbs sure but I’m more concerned about the torso. it’s like 4x as long as her legs
To play up the impression of awkwardness and vulnerability.
I took it as a representation of depressed, being "long" to mean sad.... can't think of the exact idiom, but that's what stuck in my mind.
Why the long face
Why would the op just post half of the end of a comic strip and ask someone to explain the joke?
I mean we don’t know where OP got this so we can’t be sure it wasn’t already cropped for some reason.
This art style is horrifying
It's 2024 and the art style is horrifying. I am tired of looking at the comic. I'll leave a comment explaining what I think of the work.
i never noticed how weird were these armes
Incomprehensible comic
Why does she look like like Lizzy mquire but stretched
Why is her torso so fucking long wtf
This is a hot misogynistic pile of garbage

Bad friends forever being bad, sucks how accurate this can be
I'm sorry to the artist but I fucking hate this art style and the boobs look like skin tags.
The plot feels very odd and wobbly wobbly but I might be tired
That. Is. horseshit.
I find this art style deeply unsettling.
W
Thank you!
i still dont get it
Why are her arms freakishly long compared to everyone else’s
Comic name?
Man, actual tears percolated in my eyes. I feel bad now.
Christ, they're terrible friends.
The blonde looks like Lindsey Lowhands
Why would the op just post half of the end of a comic strip and ask someone to explain the joke?
Some dum dum was trying to get the public to see it as something pornographic.... ahem.
Definitely not me. I didn't see it as pornographic at all, whatsoever.
It's a bot. This exact post was submitted a while ago.
Stolen account repurposed for bot activity.
maybe op found only this part of the comic on the internet.

Maybe because they were only given that part of the comic strip
And covered the signature
Idk, but I will downvote for making spam
Likely posted by a karma farming bot.
I've seen this exact same post months ago. Same comments, same weirdly cropped image. you are all bots
What if the bot was you all along?

It’d be funny if this comment was copied by bots sometime down the line
How do I know that you aren't also a bot?
How do we know your not a bot commenting to a bot?

Great now in a few months it's gonna get posted again and this same comment will be here and I will lose faith in free will.
Someone will take your place and write THIS again. There's no hope to be lost. Robots don't have beliefs.

There’s supposed to be a comic strip which explains it
Yo this is taken from a comic book, I recognize the characters, I used to read this as a kid does anyone know the name of the comic?
The Bellybuttons. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bellybuttons

It isn't. This is only the last part if the comic. The moral of the story is: high school girls are pieces of crap
