Thanks for the explanation. I didn't get it until you explained it. Ironically, the people who read titles will have a harder time understanding the comic, because we've read it out-of-order.
I read the title, discarded it from memory because I had no context or meaning for it, read the comic, went back to remind myself what the title is. Now I just feel numb.
Too many titles spoil the punch line, though. I can't risk it without reading the comic first.
Too late.
But how many times I've scrolled down to a happy smiling face, I start to smile too, them BAM, title starts: Teen killed when..."
Fuck... I get shit at work for not reading subjects in emails too.
Had one person put the whole email in the subject to fuck with me. It worked.
Jokes on you, I read the title, forget that I read the title, read the post, then go back and read the title again 😎
I don't get it... How is "too late" the punchline?
I don't get it either, and what order are you supposed to read it? Does the title come first, or at the end?
read the comic, realize you didn’t read the title, read the title. too late.

Oh just brag about stealing my wife, why don't you!
It’s telling the reader they are too late reading the title after being called out for not reading it.
As someone that reads titles and is therefore the superior romantic match I am immune (to thinking it was funny)
Also on my lemmy the title of a post is below the image. It would be very strange for someone not to read the image first. This joke is bad.
It depends on what client you are using. It’s above the post on Voyager.
Kinda hard to miss on the default lemmy UI lol
That's genius lol
Naw man, I never read the titles of comics. I just like to go in raw yanowaddahmean?
inowaddahmean
Most people read the title and not the article. Anyone out there reading articles without reading the title? 🤔
Violation on the field, meme is not self-contained... first down vote.
Fuck
I didn't notice the title...but I also misread her as "He reads articles" and that was funnier than the originally intended joke. 🤪
Staaaaaaahp
In my defense, my app puts titles below images
But why
😭
He never even had a chance, poor fella.
Just a regular "breaking the fourth wall" tactic
