Sorry, but sometimes I just don’t get these cartoons. I’m sure they’re brilliant, but some times, they just miss me.

I belive it's a metaphor for war. The rich start it, the poor fight it.

I don't think it's only a metaphor for war but also a literal depiction of how duels sometimes took place? I do believe that seconds sometimes took the places of the duellants.

The people insulting each other aren't fighting themselves, but sending waiters to go shoot each other over a relatively minor issue.

People used to use stand ins in duels.

That is because it is going over your head. This is isn't for you then.

Generally, they are far from brilliant

No, it is good. It is because it is going over your head and you are not intelligent enough to understand.

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.
