Instafluencers?
Ass went flat as a coke left open on a table
Was a Long ass commercial
Cheeks will be right back after these messages
Ass coke left on a table
Ah, the Juicy Couture method
Wait, that was the brand name and not a statement about the contents? Everything makes a lot more sense now.
My mom used juicy couture shampoo to bathe her yorkie (that makes her sound posh as hell but I swear she's not), so I assumed the brand was made for dogs and thought it was really weird when human women said they used it lol
I want 'em real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mix-a-Lot's in trouble
Beggin' for a piece of that bubble
Oh my God, Becky, look at her butt.
Becky: "Brenda, I'm with Belinda now. Stop trying to sabotage my happiness."
Ass revenue
Assvenue
That’s something completely different lol
The minute we get clothing that can do this, it will happen. This comic is ahead of its times
Counterpoint: Plenty clothing has corporate logos on already and people pay money to wear those.
I'm imagining a slightly lower tech version which is just a little flag that unfurls over the butt.
Patent this right now
This comic came out before Juicy?
Don't give the tech companies any ideas.

So that's what they mean by "shake your money maker"
Staring*?
“Glaring” like… “fucking ass. I hate asses.” 😠
Like, actually hate asses?
An ass killed his mom :(
Tragic donkey accident.
Oh geeze!
And insulted his father's minature painting hobby :(
No shit
Butt, that’s where it comes from
Helllll naw. Gimme booty baby 😁
Glaring doesn't imply a negative meaning. In this case it's used to mean "obvious".
Glaring doesn't imply a negative meaning. In this case it's used to mean "obvious".
Unless you’re suggesting that “glaring” means “obviously staring” (it doesn’t - that would be “glaringly staring”) this doesn’t make any sense.
“[He’s] glaring at [direct object]” is an example of a sentence that uses the present participle form of the verb “glare,” which explicitly communicates anger or fierceness.
If you’re not convinced, read on.
—————
The verb form that takes an object is:
Glare (verb with object): to express with a glare. They glared their anger at each other
The noun form the above definition references is:
Glare (noun): a fiercely or angrily piercing stare.
“Glaring” can be an adjective and one of those definitions does mean “obvious” or “conspicuous,” but the use of that form of the word doesn’t make sense in her sentence. Think about a comparable sentence like “The undercover operative is conspicuous at the bar,” where the bar is the location. (Even then, most people wouldn’t use “glaring” in that sentence, as “conspicuous” or “obvious” are much less ambiguous; the operative could be staring piercingly or angrily at the bar rather than being glaring while being at the bar.) Another example that makes a bit more sense is “The effect of the invasive plants is glaring at the park.”
But for that interpretation to be valid here, you’d have to:
- believe that the dude is trying to hide/blend in, or otherwise explain how he - not what he’s doing, but the dude himself - is conspicuous
- believe that the woman’s referring to her own ass as a location
- assume that she isn’t commenting on how the guy is looking at her ass, even though the joke depends on giving him something different to look at
That’s a bit of a stretch.
Interesting...
I've seen it used plenty as exactly what I said. Staring obviously or intensely.
It fits and gets the point across to me
That’s glaringly obvious.
I love this lol
