The cartoon below writes, <bq><b>Human:</b> God, why the hell is everyone so miserable? <b><b>God:</b> You structured your economy so that poets, painters, and writers have the worst money-to-talent ratio of anyone</b>, then tasked them with talking about what life is like! All of your greatest stories are brought to you by <b>a scorned underclass who already hated themselves before they were told they deserve nothing because their job isn't real.</b></bq> It is not rare for the SMBC punchline to be in the middle of the comic. But it's not really punchline, is it? It is much more ... an explanation. <a href="https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/misery" author="Zach Weinersmith" source="SMBC">Misery</a> <img src="{att_link}smbc-misery.webp" href="{att_link}smbc-misery.webp" align="none" caption="SMBC Misery" scale="75%">
