Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Best case, this is an absurd warning about hunting large animals on one's own. The humour would be that this woman, rather than killing the mammoth, is about to get stomped. Or a at the very least, a terse "Do you mind?"
Worst case, this is intended as "Strong independent (cave)woman don't need no (cave)man.", and in acting without said man, she has proven said maxim wrong.
I'd like to think there's enough wrong with that thinking that even the most ardent misogynist ought to find a step too far (people hunt in groups, so she would have taken friends along, surely?), so I expect the intended humour is closer to the former than the latter.
The choice of a female protagonist is an interesting one though.
It must have been "Do you mind?". And absurdness of hunting alone. Also i see nothing interesting on choice of female protagonist. Contrary to popular myth, women hunted together with men (based on evidence of broken legs) and had no strongly separate roles (like women being gatherers and men hunters).
That's how I interpreted it.
Thanks! That makes sense!
I thought it was “Woman being a pain in the ass since the dawn of man.”
Wasn’t funny the first time either. Welcome to my blocklist.
Edit: looked at their post history. Not a moment too soon.
👍, I really don’t care about your opinion.
