This guy makes christian comics.
On dude's site this one is called Popular vs Unpopular
and underneath it is the bible quote:
From what I can tell she dates a guy who knows how a lady should be treated but can't actually afford to treat her that way.
From the woman's face in the 4th panel she has grown insecure and lowered her standards, dating a guy who bikes and takes her for a burger. She sees on going to the bathroom that her date owns the restaurant chain they are eating at.
The lesson seems to be for women to know their place and date men who could treat them as they deserve, but instead take them to a place they get kickbacks from eating at (and seemingly don't reveal this fact before inviting them).
Praise jay-sus.
Edit: Since the "loser" has dark hair and takes her to a sushi restaurant, and the "good" (presumebly christian) catch has blonde hair and takes her to an all-american burger joint, it also comes off as slyly racist—at minimum xenophobic.
I'm betting the artist looks like the second guy. It's likely more a self insert as the "frugal, good guy" from the artist more than a xenophobic jab. Just insecurities about his looks.
Nah, I think the guy may look like this.
Unless there's two Johnathan M Lams who make christian art.
Going from this the second dude may be an insert of his father though. 🤔
