I'm really confused by these strips. Are there more panels than the ones we see?

Just keep reading it until it makes sense. Giving up is for pussies.

Glad I'm not the only one

I have the feeling the artist themselves don’t know what the fuck is going on. Which is fitting for the current zeitgeist if you ask me.

Or they say “fuck it”, do a yes amount of drugs and start scribbling. Which probably is what’s really happening.

My guess is that it's a cynical take on optimism and maybe hustle-culture. Whatever people say, it's futile anyway.

But maybe I'm just too dumb to get the "jokes" buried somewhere in them.😁

The joke is that she's still telling him not to give up after he's already falling

that's dumb, that's not even a joke that works in this format

the joke is he's falling to his death and someone is telling him "you can do it [survive]!"

These seem more in an absurdist vein of comedy to me, rather than having or needing a particular punch line
