These early ones are interesting, especially with how often the punchline is abuse. 2005 was an edgy time for webcomics. What gets me is that the joke is intended to be the absurdity, but by using a gun, it feels too real to me to be funny. Like the edgy joke with the twins was rape by deception, but the over the top behavior on everyone's part made it feel genuinely absurd.
